Hi ,

​

What if you could get a Masters degree in Machine Learning for under US$8000, from a top US university, without quitting your day job or moving location? 

Georgia Tech's pioneering Online Master of Science in Computer Science (OMSCS) program offers just that.

In the latest episode of Value Driven Data Science, OMSCS Executive Director Dr David Joyner joins host (and OMSCS graduate) Dr Genevieve Hayes to discuss OMSCS, the world's first MOOC-based degree.

Some of the things we discuss in this episode include:

• What is the OMSCS?
• How OMSCS compares to other Computer Science Masters programs and MOOCs?
• How online education can help data scientists keep pace with the rapidly changing technological landscape.
• Challenges and opportunities associated with teaching and learning in the online space.
• Why Georgia Tech students talk about "getting out" instead of "graduating".

This is the first part of a two-part conversation, which will be continued in the next episode of Value Driven Data Science.
