Abstract:
Online graduate degree programs, particularly in technical disciplines, represent a fast-growing market for higher education institutions. Yet, it is unclear how online degree programs fit within students educational investment decisions and career goals. Based on a foundation of human capital theory, and using data from a 20XX survey of students enrolled in an online masters degree program in computer science at a highly ranked US university, this study explores how motivation for seeking an online graduate degree in computer science varies by student demographics and professional background/preparation.
