Not sure if this has been mentioned here already, but stumbled across it and thought it might be of some interest.

It's billed as a Computer Science Masters for those without a CS background. Courses seem undergrad level, and there aren't any pre-reqs as it's supposed to build you up from scratch, but again in my (and others) opinion at an undergrad level.

The appeal obviously is an easier path to a CS foundation but with a graduate credential from an Ivy league.

total cost is 26k.

From looking over the website, it appears you would get an actual degree from the university of penn and not some degree thats like "distance learning masters degree from the university of penn". It's cheapish and the admissions process isn't that tough...interesting.

Looks like they're using Coursera too. I'm really happy to see more and more well respected schools offering more reasonably priced online programs that are still really the same degree in the end.
