Anyone have much experience with U of Wisconsin-Milwaukee flex option programs? I have been pondering of potentially doing another bachelors (information science and technology). If you have or attend please share your thoughts on the program pros and cons if possible. Thanks.

I see they have second bachelor option which would make the degree 10 classes if I understand right. I would assume any bachelors and they give you 90 hours. If that is the case it looks like a decent bachelors. I might apply and see if that is true. If there is more than 10 classes to take I might be less interested.

Cons - It's on the expensive side for CBE. It doesn't come with IT certifications. Its possible to get grades of C, D, F. The letter grading will slow you down a lot if you care about your GPA. I haven't heard of anyone succeed in earning a degree in six months or less (two subscription periods). Earning 30+ credits in 3 months is not the same thing.
Pros - I like the UW name a lot more than TESU or WGU.
