Hardly.

Let's see the options:

- A masters degree outside USA, it is probably way cheaper and extremely more prestigious, with better job prospects connections.

- A masters degree in America, it more expensive, but gigantically superior in all the other points.

- An online masters degree like Georgia Tech. Better, cheaper, more prestigious.

- A CS degree online at OSU: https://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/services/tuition/?p=computer.... 1.5 X as expensive but you will get a real degree (No ABET accredited).

- Coursera/Udacity/Edx. 10% of the cost, courses taught by first-rate universities.

- OCW: Totally free.

- FreeCodecamp: Totally free.

So this program has the cost of Ivy-League universities program with 0 of the benefits. If you think this is a good proposition for your career, I as a hypothetical recruiter, would highly question your common sense as a prospective employee.
