Ask HN: Best online CS degree program?
Hi,
So far I just know of Thomas Edison State College http://www.tesc.edu/heavin/undergrad-certificates/Computer-Science.cfm, but I haven't done much research yet.
I figured a good place to start would be here to learn what HN readers know to be good.
Thanks
Regards,

- cdvonstinkpot 13y agoThat looks interesting, but I need to start with undergraduate studies for now. Thank you nevertheless for your reply.
- bblough 13y agoBoth University of Illinois and Florida State University have online BS degrees in CS.

If OP isn't opposed Christian schools, Regis University's curriculum looks pretty rigorous. I'm not a religious person, but when I looked at their curriculum I started wishing I had chosen it over the program that I'm currently in.
- bblough 13y agoThe graduation requirement is "intermediate-level" skills in any modern foreign language (not necessarily Spanish). This translates to 3 semesters at college level. Considering that 2 semesters (or 2 years in HS) is the entrance requirement, an extra semester really isn't that bad.

- cdvonstinkpot 13y agoThat looks like it might be a good 'Plan B' if my funding falls through. But for now I'm aiming for transferable undergraduate studies at an accredited school.
- JHof 13y agoThere are two undergrad programs in the US that have ABET accreditation: Florida State and Regis University. Unless you're going to a very well known school such as Stanford, I'd consider this important. Especially if you plan to move on to a masters program.
- grumps 13y agoI'm highly considering Oregon states program. although its really for Post Bacs with science degrees.... the dept is abet accredited http://main.abet.org/aps/AccreditedProgramsDetails.aspx?OrganizationID=412 http://main.abet.org/aps/AccreditedProgramsDetails.aspx?Orga...
