WGU - BSCS

[dfrecore]

I think most WGU degrees, because their Gen Ed's are a smaller percentage of the degree, are a much better degree than a lot of the Big 3 degrees. WGU's GE's are roughly 25-30%, instead of the 55%+ for TESU degrees (the BSBA requires 54 units in the major, the BA in CS only requires 39, for instance).

Of course, you're limited on what kinds of degrees you can get there, but for comparable degrees, especially in IT, it's just a better way to go.

I'm not saying the Big 3 degrees are worthless or anything, and for someone who has a lot of credits to bring in, you may find a degree that's a better fit for what you've already studied (I fall into this category). WGU has no BALS degree, and I'm actually surprised they don't (they could easily throw one out there).
