University of Illinois also runs an online MCS program, similar to the Georgia Tech one. The curriculum is very comparable to the on-campus degree, and is supposed to take 2 years or less, I believe

I tried some of the U of Illinois MBA courses & found them lacking in quality compared to the Wharton ones on Coursera & MIT on EdX.

Obviously that's a completely different program & faculty though.

I am currently enrolled in the online MCS program. So far the classes I’ve taken are very high quality. Feel free to AMA.

How much time per week do you spend on the course? what is the course fee?

The whole program is ~20k. Each course is ~2k. There are some additional fees like exams. The previous semester was probably ~3-5hrs per course. This semester my most difficult course is upwards of 10hrs weekly to complete labs. This is not including actual lecture content and quizzes (probably another 5hrs).
