Was Getting My Masters Degree in Computer Science Worth It?
Рет қаралды 14,519
Күн бұрынI completed my online master's degree in computer science earlier this summer, but the big question was it worth it? Today I will discuss my journey getting my degree from one of the most popular online CS programs, Illinois MCS, and how it benefitted me personally and professionally. I will also talk about some of the things I didn’t enjoy or thought were a waste. Everyone’s experience and circumstances will be different, but I hope to give you a general idea of these online CS programs' usefulness if you consider joining one.

Hey, wanted to know what the degree should be listed as on a resume? Just Masters in CS from University of Illinois? Do you include it was online and do you think it looks less prestigious than a more conventional masters in CS? Thanks
@willelliottYT Жыл бұрын
The diploma doesn’t designate online vs on campus. It’s the same courses as the traditional Masters in CS at UIUC so I wouldn’t include that the courses were taken online

I have a bachelor + master in Finance, and have been working full-time for ~2 years as a self-taught software engineer. I am now considering doing either OMSCS, MCIT, MCS or the MCS from Texas. Do you reckon I could get in with my background? Or would I need to take courses in Discrete Mathematics and Data Structures & Algorithms first?

Similar background. I found collages that accept students with no CS background to do Masters in Software development but not Masters in CS. How about you?

Hey Will, you are wonderful man, thanks for the encouragement, I am working as senior software engineer and last month got promoted to a tech lead position and I've been wanting to do masters from a long time but never had the funds for it. Finally based on my budget and Indian economy I might consider OMSCS and just wanted to know if it's worth or should I consider Illinois MS?

Should’ve done a masters in AI
@xjakex2514 10 ай бұрын
Why?
@Ratgodx 10 ай бұрын
@@xjakex2514 because while CS is good up until a bachelors, AI/Machine Learning is an available masters that’s offering many more opportunities than a saturated CS masters rn.
