Ask HN: What are some good online CS Master's programs?

Hi! I'm trying to find a good online program to get a Master's degree in CS.

I'm a competent self-taught web developer, but I have a non-technical Bachelor's degree, which procludes me from getting the work visa and makes job search more difficult.

So I'm looking for a high quality program that will teach me some solid fundamentals of CS I may have missed (algorithms, data structures, etc), and give me a proper CS diploma I can use in my job/visa applications.

Can you recommend some good options? What criteria should I use to pick the best one? What should I keep in mind?

I would really appreciate any help!

    No personal experience with this, but GaTech OMSCS [1] seems very compelling. Great testimonials, and impossible to beat price.
