The courses are identical to the courses one would take if they were getting their Master's at Stanford - the only difference is that only four classes are required, while a Master's requires about 15.

I'm enrolled in Stanford's CS Master's program right now through the Honors Cooperative Program (which lets you get a Master's online while working in industry), and I'm currently planning on doing a dual specialization in Systems and AI. For the AI specialization I've already taken CS 221 and 229, and I'll have to take three more AI classes drawn from a list pretty similar to the Elective Courses list in the OP.

Did you take the courses online or on campus? Did you feel like a "regular student" or "divided but equal"? Did you look at alternatives like Harvard Extension ALM in Software Engineering?

Question - you peaked my interest in the Cooperative. What is your goal going out of the Cooperative with an MS?
