Raahul, how do you like the omscs program? i am in it as well but worry that it is easier than the on campus MS. Even though I suspect it is easier, I still find the workload very heavy.
All that said, perhaps for the sharper students these classes demand much less time than they do for me.
I'm currently in GA and it is tough, probably my toughest class so far - 10 to 20 hours a week is about what I'm doing. I think I would need at least 20 hours/week to pull off an A, but I don't have the time unfortunately. My undergrad, which is a top tier state school, was also on the whole a lot easier. OMSCS is a tough degree - completing it is a big achievement.
The difference is in the number of subjects that you can take per semester, and that also adds to the difficulty. Also, I’m not entirely sure but some courses are bound to be labs heavy. Those courses probably are not available on omscs.
