High School Student and Computer Science Degree recommendation

[dfrecore]

Have you guys looked into WGU at all? Their IT programs seem really fantastic, and he would graduate with several certifications as well as his degree. If he knows the material he can breeze through the courses and go right to the final exam/assessment. My 17 year old son is currently taking Study.com and Straighterline courses with a plan to enroll at WGU in April with only 36 credits needed to complete his degree - with WGU's all-you-can-take program, he plans to complete this in one term for a cost of $3,000 - it's really hard to beat that. He's doing business, not IT, but the same would apply for any of their programs. And both programs have quite a few Straighterline courses guaranteed to transfer.

I agree that WGU has good programs, but I don't think they apply to someone who wants to be a programmer. But I could be wrong.
