Degree Planning from scratch for late career software engineer
#17
(06-03-2022, 10:12 AM)davewill Wrote: P.S. Another thought. While his job may want his bachelor's degree to be U.S. based, graduate programs will not mind that he has a foreign degree. He could consider doing a master's to satisfy this need for a U.S. degree rather than getting a "redundant" bachelor's degree. The downside is that it won't be as cheap as the bachelor's (although the Georgia Tech OMSCS, at $7K or so, is pretty cheap), nor will he be able to go through it quickly. On the plus side, he will actually be learning new things, and enhancing his resume in a more meaningful way.

This is a great idea! If he can skip directly to the master's degree, he can avoid all the extra work of general electives and lower levels, and just concentrate on what interests him. Maybe this? https://www.wgu.edu/online-business-degr...ogram.html
