tsimmns Wrote:Proloko, i had thought about that. I think the CS degree from OSU would be more valued than one from TESC. I also see you have your CCAF and a degree from TESC. Do you mind if I ask where you are.located and if anyone ever questions your degree? Since most of my credits are from business I could probably like you said knock out a business degree from TESC very quickly. Also, I assume I could take classes there for the degree along with some lower level classes I still need from a Community College at the same time. I'm pretty sure you can be registered with two schools at the same time from what I remember.
I read your first post and replied. Had I read through your posts, I would have seen you already looked into OSU. Stupid on my part, but at least you received affirmation
I work in the DC area. I'm currently a Federal employee and as you know, as long as it's accredited, you qualify to apply. I also have received job offers in the private sector, but I turn them down because you can't beat Federal bennies and the pension. No has asked me DIRECTLY about my schooling, but I'm sure there was a snob or two somewhere the threw my app in the trash. But those folks would have thrown out a resume from Penn State also.
I make real good money. I recently applied and was accepted to a competitive MBA program, the TESC name and the fact I only have 30 graded credits didn't hurt me.
If you have experience, the degree matters much less. If you have no experience, the degree matters much more. If you are looking for ABET, Regis has an online CS degree that is ABET accredited. I looked into once, but I would have had to do an additional 70 credits. The OSU degree is attractive because all you need is a Bachelor's and College Algebra. All the mathematics is incorporated into the courses.
I always tell people to do a Linkedin Search of people with the degree you're looking for and see what they are doing. Most TESC students are former/active military and are doing well for themselves. Experience matters.

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.
