How to get a degree in 2020?

In 99% of the cases, you will not want to pursue a master's degree from any of the Big 3 schools. They are extremely overpriced for the value you get from them, they are all traditional courses without the ability to accelerate, and there are almost no options for alternative credit transfer at the graduate level which is the only reason why you'd want to go there to begin with.

There are plenty of other open-entry grad schools out there that will take degrees from the Big 3 without question and regardless of where the credits were earned. They just won't be well-known or top-ranked schools.

Ultimately, it comes down to why you want a graduate degree and what you plan to do with it? For some purposes, you really want to be able to get into a top school... for others, it doesn't really matter.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
