I'm sad to hear about the experiences you made with Grantham and it's obviously frustrating to me since I'm an international student and I know it's even more difficult for internationals to fin work by getting hired and sponsored H1B worker Visa.
Before I went to Grantham, I did at least half a year of of research to understand the school system in the U.S. and what would be likely to get you a job as an international from Germany.
Computer and Engineering degrees are important and fortunately I love those fields and I decided for Grantham not just bc I'm in the military and I need an online degree but also because I like the curriculum of the Computer Engineering Technology program. All other degrees I found are either completely programming (such as computer science) or electronic circuits (electronic engineering). Computer engineering is close to what I want but Computer Engineering Technology is the perfect mix of Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
Before I decided to enroll at Grantham, I knew the differences between ABET and DEAC and I found 100% online degrees that are ABET related to my degree (Online Programs | ABET) but I don't like the curriculum of these courses. That's why I believe the Grantham degree is the best thing I could possibly do right now (bc I'm in the military and love the program).
Is there any kind of certification or similar that I could get in order to increase my chances to get a job or replace ABET requirements to go for a masters in Computer Engineering (or related)?
If I was to transfer to a different University, do you know any programs that would be good and the same or similar to the "mix" (electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science) that I like AND good universities that are accepted by master program universities?
Thank you for your help.
