Mississippi State University online PhD in Computer Science

Actually, now that I took a closer look, I think Rachel has a point. If you look at the wording it says "a" previous M.S. which means to me that you can already have obtained your MSCS elsewhere. Maybe instead of speculating, I may end up just emailing the school for clarification.

Please let us know if you get an answer from them, this would potentially be a great PhD if you can also transfer your MS from elsewhere. Thanks!

Wow they replied to my email very quickly. The MSCS does not need to be obtained at Mississippi State U. An MSCS from another school is acceptable for the MS Admit only category. One other update, however, is that she told me that the tuition+fees is $731.25/unit (there is a $200/unit fee for online programs). I mean $23k for a PhD in Computer Science from an R1 school... that's a steal!

This is another thing which I think is important. I had sent emails to other schools about their programs and they never replied. So I think it's impressive that Mississippi State takes students seriously. I mean it's after 3PM EDT on a Friday, right before the weekend, and for them to get back to me so soon I think is impressive.
