About OMSCS

In January 2014, the Georgia Institute of Technology, Udacity, and AT&T teamed up to launch the first Master of Science in Computer Science from an accredited university that students can earn exclusively online and for a fraction of the cost of traditional residential programs.

The Online Master of Science in Computer Science program, or OMSCS, brings together leaders in education, MOOCs, and industry to apply the disruptive power of technology to widen the pipeline of high-quality, educated talent needed in computer science fields. Students in the program work their way toward the same Georgia Tech M.S. in Computer Science as their on-campus counterparts.

"I had been searching for the right degree program for years. It's hard to find a high-quality master's program that I could do while keeping my full-time job. The inception of OMSCS was like the answer to a prayer. It has exceeded my expectations."
- Yeeling Lam, Fall 2015 OMSCS graduate

Beyond the grades and diplomas, the program has also created a worldwide community of computing professionals who not only collaborate in their courses, but also form professional networks, share job opportunities, make in-person connections, and support each other in both their studies and their careers.

Whether you are a current or prospective computing student, a working professional or simply someone who wants to learn more about this revolutionary program, we encourage you to explore Georgia Tech's OMSCS: the best computing education in the world, now available to the world.
