I have a few prospects lined up.

I'm actually planning on doing a second masters from a slightly more prestigious university with a more theory-heavy degree [1], but it's nice to at least have an official graduate degree now. Hopefully it helps me find work a bit quicker, and if nothing else it's just kind of fun to pile up degrees.

I was recently looking for a master's degree in math that is:

- 100% remote

- 100% self-paced

- fairly cheap

and it looks like Open University is the best option right now? Did you find any better option?

  • I couldn’t find anything that ticks all those outside of OU.

    University of Texas has one that looked pretty ok, but it was kind of expensive for a non-Texas resident.

    University of Western Florida has one for “Mathematical Sciences”, which more or less fits, and it’s not even that expensive, but I think that one is synchronous.

    • Yeah, I wish there were more options than that. Also, remote phd or master+phd would be even better, but these are even more uncommon and pricey (unless you know about a one that is good and cheap and remote then I’d love to learn more)
