Ask HN: How do you get a Masters

2 points| abhididdigi | 11 years ago | reply

Hey all,

I right now live in New Jersey, Unites States. I work in a start up by the night and a day job at an MNC. I want to now pursue my Masters. Do any of you pursue your Masters while working? If so, do any of you know any good colleges that support this format?

Thanks for all the time.

Numerous schools offer online master's degree programs that you can complete part-time. If you live near a good graduate school, going in person may be more rewarding, but otherwise, a part-time online program is perhaps the best way to work it into your existing schedule.

I've had some good experience with the online education program at the University of Illinois, but where to look depends on your area of study.

I got my Master's degree while working, but only a day job (and it was a business degree, not a C.S. one).

Are you sure you can fit the time requirements into your schedule?

Hey, thanks for the comment. If I can find a good college, I am planning to stop working on the startup and do my Masters.

Where did you get the Business Degree from?
