Is that anecdotal or is there some data on school reputations?
this is not about their IT degrees, but about their teaching degrees

even more off topic than this thread already is, but how are you going to do upper level biology credits and labs ?
and isn't TESU crazy expensive now ?
I've always been confused by this
"If a student pays the fee, and does not apply for graduation within 12 months, they will be required to pay additional credit hour residency waiver fees."
https://www.tesu.edu/tuition/fees
does that mean you have to pay that every year that you don't take 16 credits

"On the other hand, if I were hiring for a position that required a 'CS degree or equivalent' and everything else was equal, I wouldn't have a problem with hiring a candidate who finished the COSC program because ... So it depends on how they interpret the CS concentration I suppose. They might liken the CS concentration to someone with a BS in Software Development degree rather than a full BS CS. Then again, many hiring managers don't really distinguish between BSCS and BSSD when hiring anyway since they're looking for programmers and not computer scientists."
and @Merlin
as a hiring manager what do you think about
Bachelors Science Information Technology
as opposed to a software development degree or a computer science degree or a concentration in computer science degree

I'm guessing it depends on the job
for example: I wonder if someone with an Information Technology degree would get an interview for this position if they had a resume that showed the experience
