Degree Planning from scratch for late career software engineer

Purdue Global has a CBE IT Bachelor's with several possible concentrations, including "Program & Software Development". https://www.purdueglobal.edu/degree-prog...echnology/ It would be a lot of work, though, since each PUG class is broken down into 5 papers/projects.

UMPI would also consist of quite a few papers, but each UMPI class is only a single paper or project (rarely exam). So, if you plan things right, it'd only be 10-15 papers at UMPI vs. about 45 at PUG.

WGU would be mostly/entirely exams.

I'm not sure about TAMUC's program.

Hi!  Thanks for the information.

Papers are probably more of a strength than exams but not by much.  Either would work.  I think if he was proving new knowledge vs being assessed on current knowledge, he would rather do something in Business as it would literally be new knowledge and he would like that.  If the degree was based mostly on portfolio or testing out, development would make the most sense.  In some ways he's maxed out as far as software development and would like a new challenge.  45 or so papers/projects to walk away without (too much) new learning would not energize him very much.  But I will look at PUG because I had not really considered them, thank you!
