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)


I was doing the University of York online PhD in computer science (formal methods), and it was actually pretty great, but it was costing me like $17,000 per year, and it was a huge time sink when I was already working full time.

That said, if you feel like you're organized enough to pull it off, I do recommend looking into University of York. It's a very good school.


Thanks, that's actually useful and I will be happy to consider it once I have more spare time in life!

Why did you complete WGU masters in computer science after already having a PhD in computer science?


I don't have a PhD, I dropped it about a year ago; sorry, rereading my comment that was not made clear.

I wanted a graduate degree in CS, and I figured I could get the WGU one quickly.


Oh I get it now, thanks! Please let me know if you decide to enroll to math master's in OU, maybe we can help each other! I think I'll do the same on the next semester (so early 2026)


I actually just registered for it :) Assuming I'm approved I'll be starting in October.

Feel free to email me (address in profile) if you want to talk about it.


Thanks! Keeping fingers crossed for your success with this degree
