Enrollment in U.S. higher education degree programs has been declining since 2011, with about 4 million fewer students now than a decade ago. The growth in master's degrees is particularly slow, at only 0.2% over the past year according to the National Student Clearinghouse. However, Georgia Tech's online master's in computer science program is a notable exception to this trend.
Launched just a decade ago, this program has become remarkably successful, evidenced by its more than 10,000 graduates and current enrollment exceeding 12,000 students. This makes it arguably the most successful degree program in history.
The program's success can be attributed to its affordable tuition cost of approximately $7,000 for the entire course. This disruptive pricing strategy initially garnered skepticism from other higher education institutions, but it resonated well with prospective students both in the U.S. and globally. The program's launch was further bolstered by a $2 million investment from AT&T. This blend of affordability, corporate backing, and global accessibility has been the formula for its unprecedented growth and success.
