NYU Tandon Online Masters Students Advertise They've Got a Regular Master's
Basically I heard from a person doing an Online Master's at the NYU Tandon School that they've been told by the faculty they can advertise their masters as a regular in person one and that the certificate doesn't state anywhere that it's an online one. On top of that, they are paying only a fraction of the cost of what an onsite master would cost there.
Not only do I find that infuriating and deceitful, I also believe that it paints NYU in such a bad light and that it's no longer what it used to be. Like, they don't even require IELTS or TOEFL, just a random Duolingo test that's whatever. The person who told me about it doesn't even speak English on a C1 Level.
My question is twofold:
1. Isn't that unfair to those doing and paying for an onsite masters?
2. Isn't that deceitful in the job market? If you were hiring, would you now pay as much attention to a degree from NYU? What if the degree holder tried to fool you about how they received it?
