I had not previously seen that PUG has a web development concentration in their BSIT degree. Has anyone worked through the ExcelTrack of their BSIT Software Development "Web" path, with actually taking the classes at PUG? I had not liked PUG in the past because they use to be for-profit (as Kaplan), but as others have pointed out, if you get a MS degree later, it doesn't matter so much were you get your BS degree. From what I have read, I like PUG's approach of using a lot of little papers/projects to get credit. I also plan to do more web development, so focusing on PHP/JS in college would be a better a fit for me than languages like Java or C#.

I'm in the last term (of 2) in BSIT ExcelTrack, but not the Software Development concentration. However, if you'd like to see what the assignments are in the concentration to try to gauge if it's right for you:
IN353
IT488
(IN453 is the third class -- not seeing the preview for that, possibly because no one has taken it ExcelTrack yet since it's a new class.)
From my experience, if you're a project person rather than a test person, PUG is a great option for an IT degree. I'm a decent enough test-taker, but even I prefer PUG's paper/presentation format to cramming for tests.
