Better? Online among 5k others is better?

Watching lectures online as part of a short of 5k people when you paid $18k for it, and watching courses in person as part of a cohort of 20 people having paid $70k for it are two different things.

NYU has the same content for their Cybersecurity Online Masters as the Offline one, but; 1. The offline accepts ~20-50 students per year, whereas the online accepts 5000. 2. The offline costs ~$70k, whereas the online costs ~$18k.

Are these two the same, would you say?

And if they're, why go as far as to lie about having acquired it online, when it doesn't even matter?

Please see my reply above, but to answer your specific question regarding the content being the same;

If I watch the MOOC courses from the MIT's CS Masters for 2024, would that mean that I've got an Offline Masters in CS from MIT? Same content, as you put it.

And if it doesn't matter if it's offline or online, why not be transparent about it? Why go as far as to straight up lie about it being an offline masters degree, when it doesn't matter, as you put it?

If that's the case, why not just state it? Why not be transparent with it and say that this was acquired fully online?

Also in NYU's case, how is an Offline Masters degree, that costs ~$70k to get and accepts ~20-50 students every year, the same and same quality with an Online Masters degree that costs ~$18k and accepts 5000 students per year? How could anyone say that these two are the same and of equal weight?

You can get an education and become a stellar engineer/professional whilst being self-taught. I've got no beef with the people getting degrees online, it's just that you can't equalize the two aforementioned degrees, cause they're just not the same. Like it or not.

And if it doesn't matter, like most of you say here, then why not just say it?

If it's still a masters as you put it, why would they care to hide the fact that it's an online one? Why not be transparent of it doesn't make a difference as you said?

Besides, you missed my point, isn't it deceitful to be allowed to advertise an online masters as a regular one? Doesn't that do disservice to those who went ahead and got a regular one?

I myself don't have a masters from NYU.
