TESU vs CMU vs FHSU for Computer Science ?

I do agree with @armstrongsubero that you should do the calculus track unless you're simply so math averse that avoiding it is a number one priority. Of course, if that's so, I'd wonder if engineering is really what you want to do for a career anyway.

That really depends on what you end up using your CS degree to do. If you're focused on software/application/web development and only want the CS degree for that purpose (for which I'd argue that maybe a software development degree may be more appropriate) there isn't a lot of call for higher math in real life work, except in niche fields. Most of the best programmers I've known are self-trained and never needed to learn math higher than algebra to excel at their job. Yes, people working in graphics or physics or other fields that are highly math-focused will need higher levels of math, but those fields will attract engineers who are math focused.

WGU's CS curriculum is too new to really have a reputation. The school itself has no worse reputation than most small schools. The only reason why the state schools might be looked upon better is because they say "state" in them, but unless you're looking at a rated school, I don't really see a lot of difference between any of these schools.

At least in this area, if you don't have a degree from an ivy or an elite ranked college on your resume, every other college is the same for hiring purposes. Unless your degree is from a school with a poor reputation, like the University of Phoenix or some of the other well-known private for-profit schools with poor press.

But given the OP is not from the US, it doesn't much matter.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
