This past autumn I enrolled in the DePaul University online degree completion for CS. As the name states, it is not a four year program, you need to have basically your freshman year completed elsewhere. I have only taken a single class so far which worked out good. Starting in January I will be in a Discrete Math course so it will be a bit more intense so I will see how that goes.
When researching a program, I had narrowed it down to the following options:
* DePaul University
* University of Illinois at Springfield
* Arizona State University
* University of Maryland University College
* University of Florida
I ended up choosing DePaul because of the name recognition and the fact that I can actually visit the campus for advising, activities, etc. They also do not have a distinction on their diploma stating that the degree is "online", it is the same as a residence degree.
It may seem petty, but one of my criteria for choosing a school was that if I had ever heard or seen the school advertised on TV or radio, I wasn't interested. I wanted a school that was invested in academics and not advertising.
