CS degree help
#1
Your Location: TX
Your Age: late 30s too old.
What kind of degree do you want?: BA or BS Computer Science - online
Current Regional Accredited Credits: Already have BA - Visual communication
total units I have is over 90.
Took a class at Umass lowell on python



Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None.
Any certifications or military experience?: None
Budget: I'd really like to keep it under the 25k mark
Commitments: A full time job
Dedicated time to study: 20-30h a week
Timeline: 48 months or less
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: Tuition reimbursement is $4k a term up to $12k max total.  Kicks in later this year.

I have a few problems I need to work through.  I like a structured environment which is why I decided to go with school.  I know there are many free options and resources on internet but I prefer the structure so that's the compromise I have to accept.
Just wanted to see if there were any cheap options for CS programs.  My initial search landed with these:
  • FIU - B.A. Art Online
  • OSU - Postbacc Online
  • Weber State - AAS CS Online
  • Colorado State University Online CS
  • Dakota State University BSCS Online
  • Century College
  • Oakton College
I think one thing that has bugged me is just cost of tuition and zybooks.  I'm taking a C++ class that uses zybooks and don't really like it.  I hope that isn't another compromise I have to accept.

The other problem is if I go the BS route is the amount of math needed.  It varies but in general it stops at Calc I and Linear algebra.  For BA side it stops at pre-calc.  I haven't done math in 20 years.  Aleks test I can't stand.  Not sure the quickest way to get to College Algebra because I noticed for most community colleges it's 3 classes (pre-algebra / algebra / intermediate algebra) just to get to College Algebra.

How about the University of the Cumberlands online:
https://www.ucumberlands.edu/academics/u...quirements

$220/credit and you could do the math (College Algebra and Stats) via Sophia or Study.com
