Is the MS in Software Engineering Special Session at SJSU worth pursuing?

Hi Sanjana,
Regular Session is state-supported and state-subsidized. The cap on the number of Regular Session students who are accepted to the program each semester is related to the amount of money received from the state. In addition to the state tuition fees (based on the number of enrolled units), non-California resident surcharge fees (currently $396 per unit) might be applicable. Regular Session students pay campus mandatory fees and are eligible to take advantage of San José State University student services, such as Santa Clara County transit services, student body organizations, student health care, and recreational facilities. Enrollment in Regular Session affords California residents other financial support options such as CSU or CalVet fee waiver.

Special Session is completely funded by student tuition, and it does not receive any financial support from the State of California. Special Session tuition is assessed as a per-unit fee (currently $750 per unit). Students can opt to pay the same student fees as Regular Session students if they wish to access student services, such as Santa Clara County transit services, student body organizations, health care, and recreational facilities.

Regular Session and Special Session students must meet the same graduation requirements (e.g., same required courses, the same number of elective units, the same total number of units to graduate), and they will receive the exact same diploma when they graduate.

If it's the same degree and courses, I think the MS SE special session is worth pursuing.
