>Georgia Tech is not the only school that offers such a degree that is equivalent to their in-person program.
replyThis, most state schools in most states offer such degrees now and have years now.
The competitive landscape in 2025 is not like it has ever been before for CS grads - and I graduated in 1996.
replyIt would be “malpractice” to suggest anyone waste time on a CS degree from anything less than tier 2+ school. My degree is from a no name state college so I’m definitely not looking down on anyone.
That’s just conjecture without evidence. You have a degree so you’ve never experienced being turned down for not having one.
replyIt’s not “conjecture” that today’s job market is worse for CS grads than it has been at any time since I graduated and you need every competitive advantage you can get. Doors aren’t going to open for you because you got a degree from WGU, Devry or some no name state college.
replyI can't tell whether this is intentionally or unintentionally hilarious because you add an additional conjecture with no evidence immediately afterwards. My experience would lead me to think that any accredited degree vs no degree would be an advantage, but I don't present it as fact, as you just did.
