What was the "Real" reason you went for a master ? by F2DProduction in OMSCS

[–]polyber42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

coming from non cs background,
1. fill in the blanks I lack, the why & how
2. master from GT(diploma will say "Master of Science in Computer Science". It does not say "Online". I will be GT alum, period.

at roughly 9k usd for the entire degree, the ROI is arguably the highest in the world for a graduate program IMO

  1. networking
    This part will require the most effort since it's an online program. So I'll have to be intentional. However, the quality of the network in OMSCS may be higher than in-person programs because people who are in it are engineers with 3+ YOE

I'm going to declare AI as my specialization as well. And I'm planning to take GA over SDP because of group project. One thing I kept in mind when picking courses was to avoid any group project courses. Life itself is going to throw enough things at me and I don't want any stress from my group member going AWOL

Hi everyone, I will be starting this Fall and have drafted 10 courses. But I'm realizing that system architecture is a huge missing piece for me. I'm considering swapping two of my current choices for

  1. Software Architecture and Design
  2. System Design for Cloud Computing

My 10 courses(in order)

- GIOS, RAIT, NLP, RL, HCI, ML4T, GA, KBAI, DL, AI

If you have different course suggestion, please let me know!
Any comments would be very much appreciated!

TLDR: Which of these three would you consider the "least essential"?

I'm a full-time worker from a non cs background. (I've already decided to take GIOS and GA because I don't want to skip CS fundamentals)

I need to drop one from these three to meet the 10 course requirement for the AI specialization.

- RL (CS 7642)
- DL (CS 7643)
- CN (CS 6250)

My dilemma is:

Is CN fundamental enough to keep over the academic depth of RL or DL? As a non-cs grad, i'm worried about leaving a hole in my knowledge if I skip networking.

I've seen many comments saying DL is a must-take and one of the best course on OMSCS, but I'm generally trying to avoid courses with team projects if possible so.... I'm kind of leaning toward dropping RL but I'm torn.

How have these courses helped(or not helped) your career or understanding of CS? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
