Does anyone reasonable and with an internet connectt really believe they can get sonething of substance (e.g., CS degree) for relatively nothing ($5k)? That's not how the world works. Anywhere. Anytime.

Who was that said there's a sucker born every day?

Georgia Tech has one of the best computer science programs in the U.S. and they offer the Masters program for <$9k.

anyone knows if the online Master from Georgia Tech is recognized by Germany/Austria? this is to get a visa to work in IT sector in those countries

It is the same degree as the on campus program.

Yea I am aware of that, my apology, I should have mentioned that I was asking more about getting EU blue card, they have a score system for foreigners and a degree/master could count towards that if we want to work as a IT worker in Germany/Austria

Another comment mentioned it as well, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31182122

I would be glad to know whether the Master program from georgia tech is recognized in Germany/Austria

I'd be surprised if it wasn't recognized.

Do they recognize Georgia Tech? If so, then they recognize the online Masters since there is no distinction between the online and the on-campus.

i can think of lots of substantive things I've gotten for relatively nothing. the price tag of something doesn't necessarily equal quality.

I mean New Mexico now offers free college education with very few restrictions and many European countries offer similar programs, not sure why it would be so unbelievable.

What y'all are missing is those aren't just "degrees". They are formal, proper, and rated programs.

They are not, pay $5k, click some shit, adds some water...instant degree.

You're comparing gold to turds.

Plenty of countries have online universities with a Fair price. For example, the Open University, or UNED from Spain (where you have a handful of them).

So you never learned anything from internet resources?
