I love learning. I took one MSCS class when I worked at a university and completed a Udacity Nanodegree. That said the one MSCS class I took was intense (Applied Cryptography) and I had to spend time in study groups on the weekend.

What kind of time commitment am I looking at for the OMSCS?

It really depends on the class, and on how many you take at once.

If you take two classes per semester, the time commitment can be easily 20 hours a week.
