I had some of the LL courses completed already as well as all of the GE with the second BA degree policy. The BA CS is more difficult, more time consuming, and more expensive. You may want to consider BSBA:CIS if you don't have a strong reason to favor CS over a MIS/IT degree. If you are looking for a degree to get into a first job, I would also seriously consider one of WGU IT degrees which comes with certs. WGU degrees can be be completed quickly by a VERY motivated student. WGU can be expensive if you are slow at completing courses.
TrailRunr/Davewill, I was under the impression that WGU was for field experience IT professionals looking to just get a degree, no? Im looking to change careers into the CS world, programming/web developer/fullstack to be exact. Im learning to code on my own through various sources but I really wanted a degree to get my foot in the door and of course for personal reasons. someone else mentioned the TESU BS-CIS program to me as well... Does it truly matter for someone in my position which degree program I should be pursing BA-CS vs BS-CIS??
