      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I know this has been discussed before but I was hoping to get more discussion on it.<br />
<br />
The UPenn MCIT. At roughly $27,000 for tuition and fees, it is a very appealing computer science type degree. How is this degree perceived when compared to a traditional MS in Computer Science? It states that graduates have received jobs from Amazon, Google, Facebook, etc.<br />

As a result, I&#039;m interested in shoring up my knowledge in the field, because I am a bit insecure about being self-taught. I&#039;ve applied to WGU&#039;s BS in Software Engineering.
