I think we&#x27;re all familiar with the guy who acts like his University of Phoenix degree has launched him into the academic elite, and certain programs that are notoriously bad are and perhaps should remain a large negative signal.<p>But to that end I&#x27;ve heard multiple people in hiring positions whose opinion of <i>Georgia Tech&#x27;s</i> CS program has diminished greatly because they now view them as &quot;that school with the online Master&#x27;s.&quot; I&#x27;m hope the net effect is negligible but I&#x27;ve heard too many people say that or agree with the sentiment to dismiss it entirely.
