Masters in Computer Science

[EDUxplorer]

Georgia Tech's OMSCS program does not require an undergraduate CS degree.

They require a CS degree or equivalent background. Their program is not at all friendly to those who do not have a strong background.

From where did you get that information? I was in the program. 50% of the entering students cannot write a single line of code. In one of the AI courses I took there, we had a group of 5. Only two of us knew how to code. Your experience there may have been different.

I graduated the OMS Cybersecurity program and am also currently an Instructional Associate at Georgia Tech for a few years now (and have been for multiple courses over the years) where the majority of students are OMSCS. The attrition is through the roof particularly for the few admitted without a CS background. I work with multiple professors and admissions folks where this information is regularly discussed and addressed, including ongoing changes in admissions standards where our input is specifically accounted for.

Your point that my "experience there may have been different" is a very true statement, it seems, but not for the purposes you intended.

Hello jsd,

I am new here and noticed that you are part of the Online program at Georgia Tech. I hope you don't mind me asking about this.

My daughter is 17 and will finish her Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at the University of the People next month. She has more than 100 credits finished at a local Technical College and the University of Cincinnati.

One of her paths we have considered is for her to apply to Georgia Tech in regards to https://www.edx.org/masters/online-maste...orgia-tech

Could you take a look at my thread at https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...IT-Focused and give any thoughts you might be able to share?

Thank you and everyone else here so much for the wonderful knowledge!
