Path to MSCS

It really depends on what your goals are. The CS degrees we talk about the most are TESU, SNHU, and WGU, but mostly because they accept a lot of easy-to-plan third-party transfers and they're faster/cheaper to complete overall.

TESU is generally the fastest/easiest, especially when you already have a bachelor's degree:

SNHU typically takes longer because you need to take at least ten 8-week courses with them, and you're limited to two per session to start:

They also have different concentrations that you can choose, like Software Engineering:

WGU currently has less transfers available, but they probably have the strongest CS program of these three:

They also have a SWE-specific degree, which is much more focused on practical skills than theory:

There are other online CS degrees from various state schools. Just a few examples:

ASU

Oregon State

There is also a BSCS degree anticipated at UMPI, but it's still not clear when that will begin.

For MSCS, the two most well-known degrees are Georgia Tech and UT Austin:

CU Boulder also has a strong program that you can start anytime you're ready:

However, WGU is expected to start a master's in CS and possibly a master's in Software Engineering within the next few months.
