As for it being more valuable, it totally depends on the career you want. My husband works in IT Sales, and has absolutely no interest in CS, nor would it do anything to give him a leg up in a job search. A BSBA in CIS or a BSIT would be much more valuable to him. I think people might look at him like he grew 2 heads if he said he was getting a degree in CS at this point in his career.
I agree, and a BSBA in CIS would be my first recommendation for a prospective TESU student wanting to get into IT. I was only talking about the degree programs at TESU, not CS and IT degrees in general.
In my post I was comparing the BSAST degree in Information Technology at TESU with the BA in Computer Science degree—both require a lot of computer science courses. If a prospective student was deciding between either of these degrees at TESU, the BA in Computer Science is what I would recommend because the BSAST in IT has a lot of CS course requirements anyway.
