Re:Ask HN: Are online master degrees credible? by wan23 on Friday November 27, 2020 @02:11PM (#25231684)
The programs you mentioned and the ones that are similar all grant a degree that is the same as if you enrolled and showed up to on-campus classes. However, if you have a degree in computer science already, it doesn't really matter to recruiters if you also have a master's degree except for certain specific circumstances. Certainly Georgia Tech and UT Austin are good schools, but they are not top tier schools, so you're not going to get the name recognition benefit that you seem to be looking for anyway. If you're looking for a top job, what would help more is first getting some work experience, and then getting really good at interview questions.

They’re both top 10 (in US) in pretty much any ranking list you’d find for computer science, what do you consider top tier?
