In May 2013, Goergia Tech together with its partner5s, UDACITY and AT&T, announced a new online Master's Degree in computer science delivered through the platform popularized by massively open online courses (MOOCS).  The new online MS in CS or OMSCS for short costs less than $7,000 total.  In fall 2024 semester enrollment is over 15,k000.  OMSCS is apparently the biggest MS in CS progrram in the world. Harvard University researchers concluded the OMSCS is the "first rigorous evidence showing an online degree program can increase educational attainment."  Dr. Zvi Galil was a moving force behind the establishment of Georgia Tech's program.  His research areas have been the design and analysis of algorithyms, complexity, cryptolography and experimental design.  He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering.
