First Term Free at Walden!

[Merlin]

@merlin If I had to put my money on it, I think WGU will be the first to have a competency-based comp sci master. Personally, now that I will have a bachelor in comp sci from TESU, I'm rethinking getting an MCIT. I am looking back at MBA's, funny how time erases memory...

Unfortunately, Walden only offers this to US residents so I can't get get the free term. As far as I know, all you can eat free grad credits is unheard of. I would not bet this offer will come back any time soon, from anyone.

I am assuming that WGU is already working on an MSCS as well, but who knows when (or if) it will surface. By that time I'll already have my MBA, but I'd like to get a CS or software development-related masters to go with it. That or move on to a technology leadership-related doctorate. The project management grad cert would just be for the free grad credits, though if I got it first, it might be applied towards the MBA or used in a future degree.

I'm still considering the GA Tech OMSCS but given the schedule, the earliest I could start would be the fall session. Plus it isn't competency-based and I'm not sure how interested I am in doing traditional courses. Based on my experience with the BSBA Capstone, I don't know that I could tolerate dealing with 12-week courses on a regular basis. I'm used to finishing 9-12 courses in 12 weeks.
