Cheap Online Software Engineering Masters? - yellow_gambit - 03-17-2024
Looking for a cheap online software engineering masters. I dont want to do a Computer Science program as the degree needs to state "Engineer" for visa purposes, so please dont mention Georgia Tech lol.
Everything i find looks to be pretty expensive, so im wondering of there are some affordable options out there.
Appreciate any help!

I think most programs will be computer science as software engineering is a subset of that. Does the degree name need to be in engineering, or just some aspect of the program either say engineering or be classified as engineering?

Are you using this for some immigration visa that requires you to clock in points?
anyways, University of Hertfordshire in the UK offers one for 12k USD

University of Abertay has a general engineering masters for about 8.7k USD
