HELP : Selecting Intro to Programming and Programming with Java - raydog - 08-22-2012
I would like to sign up for these two courses.
a) Introduction to Programming
b) Programming with Java
Criteria:
a) Must be offered online but self-paced
b) Must be counted as college credits (Non credit courses are not acceptable)
c) School must be regionally accredited
I have 15+ years of hands on software development experience, I am looking for self-paced course, so that I can complete them real quick. I am planning to use these credits to satisfy Boston University MSCIS entrance requirement.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

I've done courses at athabasca, just keep in mind as a non-canadian the tuition will be quite high. There are also other fees to consider, like the exam fee (usually 80-90 dollars per) that make it a bit expensive. It ends up costing about the same as TESC.
I guess you'll find better options at local/online community colleges...the others on here should know more about that than me.

Athabasca sounds good. Following two courses will probably meet the requirement:
Comp 308 : Computer Science 308 : Courses : Athabasca University
Comp 268: Computer Science 268 : Courses : Athabasca University
Cost per 3 credit courses will be $988. First course also adds an extra $115. They both look like self paced.
Thanks for the links bluebooger.
