Hello all! 

Recently stumbled across this forum whilst looking into online degrees and would love to get a good understanding of my options for an accelerated CS degree. 

I'm currently enrolled in UoPeople, doing Computer Science but heavily dislike the discussion forum part of the courses. Looking for an alternative university that is quite flexible, isn't too expensive and doesn't rely as heavily on peer assessment as UoPeople does. I'm more inclined to go for a US university however I do have British and a European passport if that gives me any more options?

Also, would it be recommended to focus on accumulating credits on Sophia/Study.com and then apply to Universities or do these at the same time?

I apologize in advance if I haven't adhered to any of the protocols of this forum as I am completely new. 

Thanks a lot!

@FungiTao, Welcome to the board, I would highly recommend deciding on the degree programs available from the institutions on the WIKI, either competency based CS/IT related, or the traditional options, unless of course you want to do the Level 4, 5, 6 and top-up to a UK Bachelors. Take some time to review posts, threads, WIKI and see which program fits your need most...
