Hi all. I just found out about credit-by-exam options, and I'm seriously considering a Computer Science degree at Thomas Edison State University.
However, my only problem with it is that it's a BA as opposed to a BS. Has anyone done their CS degree? I really wanted my CS degree to be a BS, as it makes much more sense and for some reason it sounds superior. I would very much appreciate it if anyone can give some advice regarding Thomas Edison's CS degree.
I came across Jay Cross's website, and he was saying that a degree this way could cost $5000-10000. I had previously been considering a local distance-education university that offers a BS in Computer Science (as opposed to a BA), and $10000 is about as much as a degree costs where I live, so I wouldn't really be saving much, if anything at all.
What do you guys suggest? Provided the stuff I've said, would it be better for me to go the Thomas Edison way or the traditional way and attend classes and all?
I live in Israel by the way.
