My Computer Science Master's Degree in 6 Minutes
I am now a couple of months removed from graduating with my master's degree in computer science from the University of Illinois, so I figured it would be a good idea to reflect on my time in the program and discuss my experiences chronologically. The hope is this will help prospective students get a feel for what pursuing a degree like a master's in computer science is like.

Stop Wasting Time on These Things When Learning to Code
Просмотров 4722 года назад
Remember, learning to code isn’t just about writing code that you see online and check the output. Instead, there is a method to learning, whether you learn individually or in a group. But unfortunately, self-learners tend to spend way too much time on things that are irrelevant for their coding knowledge. However, since they are not unaware of these things, they end up wasting a lot of time wi...

Illinois MCS Data Curation CS598 Course Review

Illinois MCS Data Curation CS598 Course Review
hey i havve a question am interested to start this proram but i have a couplke of problem. am actually business graduate but working in data science realm for the last 8 years (not as a data scientist though) gained a lot of interest in data science and learning it now for about a year but am actually not sure if this program is for me since am not coming from a technical background. any advise?
Excellent list for those new to AI! Having the appropriate resources at the outset can make a big impact. Have you read Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig's "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach"? It's a great beginning. Which AI book is your favourite? Book recommendations for AI.
Was this via Coursera?
Would you recommend a masters in CS if I can't find a job in my field after graduating a year earlier, or is having work experience more valuable to try for first before studying? I feel like I have no real options with how unlucky I've been in this job market, despite gaining certifications and practicing relevant skills for entry or junior level roles.
I had a 2.3 undergrad gpa due to undiagnosed ADHD and completed many computer science courses except some senior courses. I also completed and got A’s in 2 cs graduate online courses at Arizona State. Would this be enough for Georgia tech?
Would getting a masters in AI from UT Austin help someone break into AI that doesn't have any experience in the field ie like going from software dev => AI?
Really appreciated this video. Thank you!!
can I transfer my credit bro
Could you update this tier list with new programs like Colorado Boulder, University of London and other?
How many classes did you take it?
They all have different curriculum. At the end of the day, you must do your own research and determine which curriculum would suit best your career objective.
Thank you for sharing your experience. May I ask in which year you completed your online MS in Computer Science degree from GTech? Currently, I am pursuing my online MS in Cybersecurity degree from GTech while simultaneously working full-time at a cybersecurity company. I have enrolled in a single class worth three credits, and I must admit, it has proven to be quite challenging. Your account of your own experience brings me comfort, as it reassures me that GTech is indeed a rigorous institution for many students, not just myself. 😅
❤
This if my first course , 3rd week . I am taking more time than expected in last 3 MPs mainly to debug some issues . Is it ok . Will I be able to finish this program with a decent gpa?
Georgia Tech only online?
I really want to do the UT online masters but my undergrad GPA is 2.745, my first 2 years in college I really struggled. Do you think it's even worth it trying to apply?
This is nothing new, but there's a 9% acceptance rate with an average GPA of 3.66, so I'd say the chances are slim (not none though). I don't know about anything about your GPA, so my answer is based on solely that.
Dude you usually have good videos but this one literally feels as if you're reading something you asked Chat-GPT to generate for you.
you could get the Georgia Tech OMSCS AND a graduate certificate in data science from harvard extension AND a graduate certificate in bioinformatics from harvard extension for less then the cost of some of these degrees
Where to take other than university
The website says lor is not required.But is it still better have letters of recommendation?
i hope there is no 'on call' requirements for these job roles
Hey , i want to do masters in cs , any recommendations, i have 3 years of bachelor with 3.5 gpa
Some of us try to career pivot...talk more about that. CS undergrads already have it made.
Suggested by the algorithm so i clicked. But I am actually interested in the UT MS Ai degree. Another one to throw in the mix of online affordable CS programs is UMass Amherst.
hey will i ain't able to sort out about stanford they did not mention the requirements like i must have in my bachelor to do online masters from stanford ?
Hi Will, can you make a video for online ms universities for non CS background students?
Was this MCS or MSCS? I am thinking about MSCS degree.
MCS
@@willelliottYT Thanks.
useful comparisons and explanations, thanks
I’m looking for a masters program in cs with a low cost
Its untrue that UIUC MCS is newer than OMSCS, I was looking at it years before OMSCS even came up in the radar. They may have made it more massive recently, but they have long been providing a distance program. Other Universities that have had distance (online) programs before OMSCS include: CMU, Stanford, University of Colorado, as well as University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (and probably others I don't now remember). I know this because I was long considering these, but ended up jumping on OMSCS (when it just started) because it simply didn't require a GRE and was a fraction of the cost, while still being from a top University.
Does the course CS411 is the same as the one taken by on campus students ?
How do they handle ai now with these coding challenges?
I'm about to do my Msc I'm ai, which would touch on every facet of ai. Not sure if I'm doing the right thing Any help will be appreciated.
Helpful info, thank you. It sounds like for those without a tech background that this likely isn't an appropriate program. What program might you recommend for someone who wants to learn more about these subjects conceptually, but isn't looking to work in IT, but could have a need to understand these subjects on a more advanced level as as a mid or executive level manager?
Where can I find tech seminars, or webinars ? I am trying to locate the dates for them
Thank you so much for the video! I am starting this fall. Very excited!!!
Saw this video a year too late. I am now half way deep in Swift as a beginner. I agree Swift starts out easy, but it gets complex as you get deeper. It does not only do Object Orienteering, but Functional and Protocol programming as well. I however disagree on not being useful, as I can make Apps and directly test them on my iPhone and Mac. Which is a great way to learn programming, and also making Apps that you can sell at the same time.
Does the GT degree appear any different than the in person?
Pl alert and teach education aspirants.
What did you do to fill your DS&A requirement? I noticed the OMSCS recommends a $500 MOOC course that they offer, but it also says that doesnt guarantee admittance. Id like to take the MOOC but maybe itd be better to take an actual course from an accredited college instead? Or do you think a MOOC that they recommend would suffice?
Illinois MCS offers a test out option
Can you send me MOOC course s link
I have a bachelor + master in Finance, and have been working full-time for ~2 years as a self-taught software engineer. I am now considering doing either OMSCS, MCIT, MCS or the MCS from Texas. Do you reckon I could get in with my background? Or would I need to take courses in Discrete Mathematics and Data Structures & Algorithms first?
Similar background. I found collages that accept students with no CS background to do Masters in Software development but not Masters in CS. How about you?
@@godismyway7305 Try looking at University of Colorado, Boulder. You can get a Master in Computer Science without even needing a bachelor.
Very clear path. ❤❤❤
Not sure what I like yet but interested in DS
Just for clarification, can I do either of these without having a bachelors degree? I study math in university, but haven't finished my degree.
NOOO.
Hi Will, if you've transferred from a community college to the 4 year, will the graduate program only look at your cumulative GPA or only your GPA from the 4 year ?
Thanks sir for this video and taking time to share this information. I'm from south Africa and desire to study here. Is this possible? In 2024 how much are the fees? Although I am working life is tough here in SA to spend alot of money. Which is the best online university that is value for money? Thanks
One minor gripe: It would be an extremely good idea to add the names of the programs covered to the show notes for quick review afterwards. Otherwise, this an excellent video that tipped me- and likely several others- off to several programs I otherwise wouldn't have considered, thanks for uploading! :)
Thank you for the info😊 Would you recommend any of these programs for international students?
Thanks dude. Just started CS411 today, this is really helpful!
What r ur thoughts on the best one for international students?
