Once I have my Bachelor's, I plan to the Master's of Professional Studies - Computer Networking degree at Fort Hays. I can complete a BSL-CIS at Exclesior a year earlier and much cheaper than the BST-Computer Technologies. I just don't know how much of a difference it would make to future employers.
Any thoughts?
I would think that your employers would see that as a bachelor of liberal arts not CIS, but you can just put bachelors, CIS. I have a few friends in the IT field and neither one of them has a college degree (one a GED). From what I see, most of them are self taught. One friend of mine always has a different story about the new "stupid" grad that screwed something up. Experience is king from what I understand.
On a side note, I see a lot of people who say your bachelor's doesn't matter if you have a master's, is this really true? Also, doesn't your getting into a good Master's program depend on the quality of your Bachelor's?

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
