I just completed the WGU Masters in "Computer Science".
I put the scare quotes around "Computer Science", because outside of a single algorithms and data structure course and a single AI course (which was extremely high level), it was purely engineering stuff. One assignment had me deploying stuff with AWS, I was designing wireframes of potential "apps" I could create, and I had to write one HTTP server.
It was kind of fun and it was nice that I was able to complete it quickly, but it really shouldn't be called "Computer Science", it should be called Software Engineering. There's nothing wrong with software engineering, I just view it as distinct-but-related from CS.
