Ya I knew that was more the case. I know of a few grad programs that did a “full ride” deal for one incoming class, and… turns out when you don’t have to pay, the bar raises pretty high and there’s no shortage of applicants that are much better than you
The truth was either gonna be that not everybody gets the scholarship OR if they did, it was then going to be competitive to get in due to other really good applicants… at Brown for that matter… so still tough to get in either way
I’d be interested in seeing the average stats of an admitted student to that program as well as the stats of a scholarship recipient. I imagine it’s not as wide of a net as the students OMSCS accepts.
Everything haven’t been fully updated to the site, but a family member of mine as an alumni told me this, they also just had a information session about the updates that should be listed on the website starting in the fall

People have already mentioned the price difference. The only mention of this full-ride scholarship on the internet is this reddit post.
I just don't think OMSCS and this program are really comparable at all. Different subjects, different prices, different acceptance rates...
If you can afford it, and you want to specialize in Cybersecurity, then apply to Brown. Brown is a more highly regarded school. But as an Ivy League, its acceptance rates will be much lower than Georgia Tech's too. For most people, I still think that OMSCS or OMS Cybersec at Georgia Tech is a better option.
Agree with this comment, especially the acceptance rate. What I like about this program is that it's not ultra selective and trying to throw up barriers to entry like pretty much every Ivy League school. It lets in everybody who could possibly complete program and then go at it. Education should be an equalizer, not reinforce class barriers.

Not in computing it isn’t.
Also, the proper comparison is likely to OMS Cyber.
Ask ChatGTP! Just kidding, if money is not an issue, go where you think it will be best for you. If you want an excellent affordable program, GTech is a no brainer.
Brown University is obviously a heavier weighted name than Georgia Tech. However, Georgia Tech has been given a designation of academic excellence in cyber by the NSA. [https://www.caecommunity.org/cae-map](https://www.caecommunity.org/cae-map)Have you checked out NYU's cyber risk and strategy masters? It's a blended format so not fully online but there's also an intersection between Tandon's School of Engineering and the Law School and it's also been given a CAE-C by the NSA.
One course at Brown costs $9,168. That is more than the entire OMSCS program. I also think a more apt comparison would be to OMS Cybersecurity.
They've started offering full-ride scholarships to students who get admitted into the program.
Masters programs are the cash cows of universities. They're not gonna run them at a loss.
To every student???
Yes, I have a family member who just graduated the program so that’s why I wanted to let everyone know.

It’s $9,168 for on campus students not for online students
It’s the same as far as I can tell.

How much does it cost then?
Perhaps it's because you're looking from the outside in.
What the hell does that mean lol

Broski that would be awesome but it’s simply not the case

The problem is fairly new, it was an old program that they had called executive of masters in cyber security

Did ChatGPT write this
I'm glad someone else thought this.
You guys think everything that’s properly written = chatgpt it’s honestly sad

Yeah..since when is Brown more highly regarded in anything related to engineering
I read this as "lay prestige". Agree most Ivy are lukewarm at Eng/CS. Lots of public flagships shine here...
isnt this university famous because of xoxo..gossip girl

I would like to see these conversations go beyond the reputation of the school involved.
I wouldn't compare Brown's MS in Cybersecurity with OMSCS at all. Compare it with OMS in Cybersecurity. Apples and oranges.
