> 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.
So you're upset that they got a better deal? Don't count other people's money.
> 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.
If your gripe is in the quality of the program, I don't think that's for one upset person to assess.
> 1. Isn't that unfair to those doing and paying for an onsite masters?
Your gripe is with NYU; your gripe is not with the people graduating. Don't take your gripes out on a system out on people just trying to live their lives.
> 2. Isn't that deceitful in the job market?
Your gripe is with NYU; your gripe is not with the people graduating. Don't take your gripes out on a system out on people just trying to live their lives.
> If you were hiring, would you now pay as much attention to a degree from NYU?
Depending on role, I already do not place much value in masters degrees.
> What if the degree holder tried to fool you about how they received it?
If the program is a master's, it's a masters. It's not for some random upset person to decide the validity of that masters.
