Clemson University online Master of Science in Computer Science (Coursera)
#1
Just came across this new online MSCS degree on Coursera. It's performance-based admission, complete two courses and you're in. This is quite similar to the CU Boulder online MSCS degree also available on Coursera, but this one is priced at $20k, which is $5k more than CU Boulder.

Great find! I agree this is similar to CU Boulder in that it is performance-based admission. At first I thought the Clemson people didn't do good market research and over-priced the degree by $5k. However, I do see the value add for that extra $5k. They say there are "collaborative projects", so it sounds like the GT OMSCS experience. But GT isn't performance-based. Also, like GT, it's a full 16-week semester.
This is a great find. If you have 20 grand and if you're best shot at getting into an MSCS program is by performance-based measures, then this is completely worth it.

Depending on where you live, the Clemson name would go much further than Illinois Tech. Clemson is a big deal in the South.

Lol what? I live in IL and would choose Clemson over IL Tech 100x over. 5k is nothing if you are going into CS

"GT" is Georgia Tech not Illinois Tech. But the $5k comparison was between CU Boulder (15k) and Clemson (20k). Both are performance-based. The question is why would you pay 5k more for two schools with similar reputation? I'm saying that if you're getting a similar student experience like GT ("GT" is Georgia Tech), but you don't want to go through a normal admission process, it may be worth paying the extra $5k (again, comparing to CU which also bypasses the traditional application process)
