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?

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.

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.

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.
