Will it be interesting to the hackers how to get a free master's degree from Carnegie Mellon University in Software Engineering?

I would like to publish an Admission Announcement for Carnegie Mellon University's 1-Year Master's Program in Software Engineering and the possibility of obtaining this degree for free (or almost free). This program is considered one of the best and most sought after in the world, as graduates of this program:

  • receive the highest starting salaries in the IT industry compared to graduates from other universities in the world,
  • have an absolute competitive advantage in the labor market among recruiters (according to the Wall Street Journal rating).

Will this topic be of interest to habrazhiteli?

Straight up magic! You get a diploma “almost for free” for a year, and then immediately:

  • receive the highest starting salaries in the IT industry compared to graduates from other universities in the world,
  • have an absolute competitive advantage in the labor market among recruiters (according to the Wall Street Journal rating).

There is clearly a catch somewhere. :)

Are you talking about it ?
Why not just go ahead and tell? Why ask if you've already got 22 likes on Facebook?

Now I will write everything. I'm sitting in California and it's already night with us. And the fact that the question was posted at first is because this is my first post and my Karma before it was only “4.8”. I tried to figure out how it all works and followed the advice that people with little karma should ask a question in the Q&A first.
And yet, I read a lot of posts as for incorrect spaces and commas, the topic is not accepted for posting in Habré ... Therefore, I want to do everything with high quality.

If you decide to create, then don’t delay, otherwise, judging by the “Applications are accepted until April 21 inclusive”, there are 10 days left)

Please post the curriculum.
What is meant by the requirement to work 2 years in the specialty? I'm a software engineer, does that count?

Do you have anything about ON LINE (remote) graduation?

Maybe there is a bachelor's program with similar parameters? I really want to get a good education.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
