PiratizerMasters @ UW
I'm considering signing up for the Professional Masters Program at the University of Washington Computer Science department for Fall 2007 and I am curious if anybody else is also interested. If you are, let me know. I'm sure it would be more fun if there were people I know, and we would be able to utilize the carpool lane on the way over (very crucial). Obviously this only applies if you live in Seattle and work for a big tech company like Microsoft, Amazon, Nintendo, RealNetworks, etc..
Website: http://pmp.cs.washington.edu/
Cost: Free (assuming you don't fail, most employers pay the full tuition).
Time commitment: 1-2 evening classes per week, 2-2.5 years.
Where: UW (duh), some classes at Microsoft campus.
What you get: M.S. degree from UW (equivalent to full-time student degree)
Requirements: 2+ years of industry experience, plus normal grad school stuff (GRE, etc)
Why: Meet college chicks, *cough*, I mean, acquire new skills you can apply in your career.
There's an info session on March 12th that I'm planning to go to. If you think you might be curious, come along

Sure I’ll come, are you sure it’s free? I wonder if that means you won’t have a life for 2.5 years?

The tuition is $5790 per year, so Microsoft’s tuition assistance program for graduate work should more than cover it. I’m not sure about the not having a life for 2.5 years, but hopefully 1 night class per week would not be that bad..

Actually, that $5790 is for Washington state residents. I’m not sure how that works if you’re from Canada, maybe you need a green card instead of a visa, I’m not sure.
P.S. It’s cool that you are interested! Now we just need one more for the 3-person carpool lane

wish my work would pay my grad tuition (assuming i get in here in a few weeks)
