Thanks, that's actually useful and I will be happy to consider it once I have more spare time in life!

Why did you complete WGU masters in computer science after already having a PhD in computer science?

I don't have a PhD, I dropped it about a year ago; sorry, rereading my comment that was not made clear.

I wanted a graduate degree in CS, and I figured I could get the WGU one quickly.

Oh I get it now, thanks! Please let me know if you decide to enroll to math master's in OU, maybe we can help each other! I think I'll do the same on the next semester (so early 2026)

I actually just registered for it :) Assuming I'm approved I'll be starting in October.

Feel free to email me (address in profile) if you want to talk about it.
