Instead of editing what I wrote, I will comment on it.
In hindsight, looking back at my MSCS, I think the strongest point of a Masters is not the elevated agree, but the opportunity to focus on a specific field. If you have an interest in AI, go to GT and work underneath a professor with lots of experience. Do not get a Masters just for the sake of getting a Masters.
GT has tons of research dollars. I was paid the entire way there, even as a non-PhD student. At first a teaching assistant, and then a research assistant. You cannot get that kind of experience from an online school.
