To be completely honest I think you can make better use of $5000/year at another school. You should be seeking to maximize the return on your employers investment...both for them and you. That amount can probably cover your costs at a State school, or any number of online options. Heck...that much cash is halfway to the tuition at Harvard Extension....which I bet puts on a pretty challenging CS course or two!
Except they only do 100% of the credit hour reimbursement at TESC through a partnership with them. With other schools, they only cover a maximum of $150 per credit hour. I have 2 kids in day care and not much disposable income, that cost is greater than my mortgage, which is why I wanted the least out of pocket option I could find and thus chose TESC.
