It's legit.

The quality of education that you receive through the GT online masters is on par with the in-person version, and you'll receive the same ms degree as a "regular" student. It is not watered down at all.

However, since you'll receive the same education as a regular ms student, the coursework is heavy and intense especially if you hold a FT job.

Are you going or have you gone through that program? If so, how much time per week do you spend on it? I work a full time job, I have a family, and I'm looking for a master's program.
I have not personally gone through the GT OMSC program. However, I do have colleagues and friends who are/were responsible the GT OMSC program at Uadcity.

From what I heard, a typical student in the program takes about 2 classes on average per semester due to the workload, and that should take up all of your free time outside of work and family. Some do take 3 if they are ambitious.

Cool thanks! I'm thinking about applying.
