MS computer science - Pats20 - 09-09-2021
Here are a couple of options that I’m considering looking more into once I get closer to graduating. They are fully online programs with an 8 week course format. The first one is under $16k. The second one is a little higher at $18k. I really like being able to focus on one course at a time. It’s what I’ve become accustomed to. Although I’m not at all used to having to be completed with a course with a 8 week deadline. I value the knowledge and wisdom of this forum and I welcome your thoughts.

Not an MS-related thing, but my 19yo went from a semester-system to a 10-week term at Purdue Global (and only 2 courses, they won't let her take 3 this first term), and she says she doesn't really notice a difference. She's happy to be able to get through more courses in less time and juggle fewer courses each term.
She's going to add some Study.com courses to the mix, plus hopefully (grrr) finish her TEL Biology course since she has "extra" time on her hands this term. She also works full time.

Yes. I like the idea of taking one course at a time with six terms per year. You would have to take two courses in a semester format to make the same progress. Trying to juggle life , work, and two different professors with 2 different coursework and testing deadlines Makes me a little nervous.
