Wow, very interesting development. I was hoping to see more programs coming out of Quantic.

nomaduser · 10-04-2021, 08:38 PM

I hope they offer it for free... or I can pay max $3000 for that.

jsd · 10-04-2021, 10:02 PM

Once they gained accreditation, they stopped offering their MBA for free. My assumption would be they will not be offering this for free either, but it's possible it'll still be on the cheap side.

They shouldn't charge $10k.
For $10k, you can get MSc in CS from a real top universities like Georgia Tech.

They have only national accreditation... so their price should be only $2k max Shy

I don't disagree with you, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it to be close to that. Even UoPeople is more. They're NA and "tuition free," and still about $3000 for their masters programs

Having done a bunch of their mini courses from the MBA curriculum, I'd be very interested to see what their CS courses will look like. Also would be very interesting to see if it's targeted at people with non-CS backgrounds or not.

I had this same thought. I'm sure it'll be a good long while until the program is ready, but it'd be nice to get some details ahead of time.

Sounds like there might other programs they're working on too, not just CompSci, and the timeframe could be sooner than I expected...

Hi,

Thanks for your email! We appreciate your continued interest in Quantic. It's true we are working on some new degree programs, but we do not have any further updates to share at this time. We have taken some steps forward, including hiring subject matter experts and commencing course creation. Once any new programs do become available, we'll be sure to send out an email campaign and post information on our website and social platforms. The anticipated roll-out timeframe is still for as early as next year, but we do not have any specific dates to share.

Best,

I don't like the school's pink logo though Sad

It'll look so bad on my resume! lol
and the pink color makes them look cheap and fake because that's an unusual color for school logos. I've never seen any popular school using pink color in logo.
It's already an indicator saying that 'hello, we're a fake school'
They should use a dark blue color instead
