I guess what do you mean by “recognize”? I’ve reviewed hundreds of resumes, and never dug into the regional vs national accreditation for a degree. You recognize the big names, and otherwise just generally say “seems they have a CS degree”
Is that different in Europe?
They do check if you're applying for a certain VISA based on your skills or job. Some companies do also check when they need an "accredited" engineer for some compliance reasons.
I think for EU blue card you need to find your degree from your varsity in some database, to successfully apply.
Glad to see somebody mentioned this, I asked about this in another comment regarding georgia tech online master https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31182962
I had a look. Germany has this database: https://anabin.kmk.org/no_cache/filter/institutionen.html
So Georgia Tech is rated H+ which usually means all recognized (but a lot of text one should read, to check if online degrees are ok)
WGU is H+/- with a warning for online degrees which recognize life experience. One should expect to get the recognition application rejected.
Georgia Tech doesn’t make a distinction between the online and on campus degrees. You don’t get an online degree from GA Tech, you just get a degree from GA Tech.
Not directly related to the post but I am almost certain the Georgia Tech OMSCS would be accepted for EU blue visa. So will UT Austin OMSCS.
