Title: Hello,<p>I am getting my degree in pharmacy soon. I’m seriously considering to pursue a “Master’s degree in CS” at the Greek Open University (EAP).  Costs 3.500 euro&#x2F;year but I noticed that their course material is exactly the same as the ‘coursera’ courses. For example “introduction to algorithms”, “design patterns”, “networking I and II” and “cryptography”.<p>Both are remote but coursera doesn&#x27;t have a <i>structured path</i>, which is something that I like, it’s free BUT does NOT hand you a valid degree. Just a verification that you successfully taken these classes and passed.<p>If I ever wanted to apply for a job in IT, do you think that a series of “Coursera” courses would be an acceptable skill-set? (Say I take math I&#x2F;II, algorithms I&#x2F;II, crypto and classes like design patterns).<p>ps. Googling I found this[1]. It’s Master’s degree in CS by Georgia + Udacity. If anyone got accepted, please share your experience. I don’t think I would be accepted, but I’d like to know the total cost per year, I was not able to calculate it on the fly. Thanks<p>[1] http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.omscs.gatech.edu&#x2F;program&#x2F;
