Over on the OMSCS subreddit there is regular discussions of competing programs as well, like ASU, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, etc. Everyone is getting into the game, it seems, though I think that OMSCS still provides the best value. I'm on class #6 myself.
I've been toying with the idea of getting the OMSCS degree for a while. Just took a peek at the stanford offering based on your post. Holly wow, the cost of a single stanford course is almost expensive as the entire OMSCS course from GT.
Curious if any stanford grads would argue stanford alumni status is worth the additional cost.
This is the exact same though process I went through when looking - I would love to experience Stanford courses - but the single course being nearly the entire cost of the GT one...
I'm on subject #7 of the course this term - overall it has been a pretty positive experience, though you need to research the subjects you're taking on - OMSCentral is critical here.
I've so far avoided any subjects that require group work, and I'm really hoping to keep it that way.
