What are good distance learning Bachelor's/Master's degrees one can do?

I'm currently enrolled in Georgia Tech's OMSCS program - http://www.omscs.gatech.edu/. 2-3 years of part-time work for $7000, and it's a fully accredited degree with no distinction from the on-campus degree. It's no pushover, a lot of work is required. But the opportunity to get a top-10 CS degree for under ten grand total is unparalleled.

Last semester OMSCS. One of the best Masters Program. Loved it.

It's not easy, I had to spend 60 hour weeks sometimes while taking the harder classes. There are easy classes as well, where I spent between 3-5 hours every week. You can take a look at the courses here: https://omscentral.com/courses

Bonus: My Employer pays for it and I work evenings.

The Open University is pretty good for mathematics.

This site,

https://www.abet.org/accreditation/find-programs/

lets you search for distance learning programs for ABET-accredited degree programs. (ABET stands for Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. They've been leaders in the field of engineering education, accreditation, and professional development for a long time.)

I've taught online computing classes at Regis University, which is ABET-accredited, and offers BS degrees in Computer Information Systems, Computer Networking, Computer Science, and Information Technology; but any of the programs listed have passed their accreditation process.

I did a Masters in Maths with the OU, continuously over five and a half years. It was brutal. The percentage of people who make it all the way to to the end is savagely low (although you can cash in your chips part-way through for a lesser, but still impressive, post-graduate award).

It's guided, and the tutors are available to help, and there's the help of your fellows in the forums, but it's very much on you; this does mean that if you're motivated and persistent, you don't just get good at maths - you learn how to take a textbook and tear it into tiny little pieces like some kind of math monster.

"Here's the textbook, here's some problem sheets that will buy you a seat at the exam if you do well enough, and here's that exam - it's three hours, you'll race to answer enough questions, everything rides on it and there's five of them, plus your thesis". They were not messing around, I discovered :/

If you really are eager to learn more, and ready to challenge yourself, it's good.

Harvard's Extension School offers a variety of Bachelor and Masters degrees, and whilst not fully online, you can fulfill most of the requirements without setting foot on campus.

Something I've looked for a few years now is Oregon State University has undergrad program that is 100% online: https://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/online-degrees/undergraduate...

I'm not enrolled but it it is accredited and (at least in my opinion) OSU has a good CS program.

They also have a postbaccalaureate program that gives you a a CS Degree if you have an existing undergrad.

I think Georgia Tech's OMS CS for its affordability and breadth of classes and Stanford HCP/SCPD for the depth of classes are the best choices at the moment.

I would avoid anything provided by Laureate Online, I have an MSc from the University of Liverpool that was provided by them and although the degree was legitimate, the quality of the "tuition" and course material was very low; ultimately I still got some value out of doing the coursework and dissertation but definitely not good value for money IMO.

Georgia Tech has a Master's degree in Cybersecurity for less than $10K. Here is a HN thread from couple of years ago.

Just finished my MS IT Management with Western Governors University for around $11,000. I thought the best value was having a mentor who called me every week to keep me focused and on track. They also offer MS Cyber Security and Data Analytics degrees.

The University of Texas at Austin has begun offering an online Masters in Computer Science (https://www.cs.utexas.edu/graduate-program/masters-program/o...). I've noticed a few other universities offering online programs through edX in areas other than computer science like Purdue's Electrical or Computer Engineering (https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECE/Academics/Online)

Currently working on a Masters degree from Stanford through the Stanford Center for Professional Development [0].

I like it. It's a lot of work on top of your normal day job, but the instructors and community are unparalleled IMO. It is on the pricier side though, but at a lot of companies you can get reimbursement. I believe it takes longer than OMSCS (but not sure), most people take around 4-5 years. At any point, you can convert to a full-time on campus student and you can always go on campus for classes or exams if you're in the area.

I’m currently enrolled on the Data Science, Technology and Innovation distance learning MSc at the University of Edinburgh.

So far, I like it: a variety of modules, and each I have taken so far has sparked potential dissertation ideas :-)

OpenHPI has awesome lectures and nano degrees https://open.hpi.de/?locale=en

Greetings from Berlin

If you decide to grow your business knowledge to compliment your technical skills, Otago University in New Zealand has a highly-rated online MBA programme which I am currently undertaking. We have many international students who attend lectures via Zoom. Would recommend.

University of Illinois also runs an online MCS program, similar to the Georgia Tech one. The curriculum is very comparable to the on-campus degree, and is supposed to take 2 years or less, I believe

I think https://www.fernuni-hagen.de/ has such degrees but I think it is in German.

Can someone recommend a masters in CS, statistics or applied mathematics with thesis option or at least a capstone? I haven't been able to find one.

Ideally with focus on ML.
