Thanks, you are ACTUALLY a HUGE help to me and others who are no doubt looking for info on UPower.
Do you know what concentration your son is going to choose when he has to start taking his electives for his major classes (networking, information systems, software dev, etc)?
I hear you about WGU. I think for someone with no work-related IT experience, in this job market, WGU is not a good way to go. It's best for people already in IT who don't have a degree and need one for a promotion or just to get past HR filters when applying for other IT jobs. That's just how I feel after researching WGU student experience for the past month or so.
I am interested in finding out, when your son reaches that point, is if Hodges start to "nickel and dime" him/you on things like fees for Lab simulations or if it is included in the $3K/term tuition. It should be included, but with so little info from actual UPower students/grads (unlike WGU), it's hard to say.
