Anybody's experience with Snow College CBE?

Just curious, which Snow Associates are you looking at?  Is there a specific reason for getting the Snow Associates degree?  If you're going for a TESU or UMPI Bachelors, you can get the Associates on route for free, even COSC can provide the same.  I wouldn't suggest going for Excelsior Associates as they require an Associates Capstone.

Thank you for asking! 
I am looking at A.S. in Computer Science at Snow College.

Why Associate - because I am considering serious career change as an opportunity (yeah it's funny as I literally was writing about different career in my thread a few weeks ago, but at that time I wrote that life may happen) and would like to start getting into that field without committing too serious at this stage taking a Bachelor. I would later probably go for WGU's Computer Science degree, but as it is quite challenging I'd rather prepare myself step by step studying outside of school for which I pay. So it's good opportunity to have a some degree for sure in the middle of the way.
A few "ticks" why it looks good for me (not necessarily for everyone else):

• Associate - I look at it as a good opportunity to take a sneak peek into theoretical knowledge, get some RA credit if you need some (I may need) and lay foundation for future education. At least something to show on a CV for an entry level or middle level job in computing/software, considering that for some jobs education "is an asset" rather than necessity.
  
• Awesome naming which uses classic naming convention for this type of a degree. It just makes things easier for people who have their degree named like this rather than "Computer Information Technology" (like in NAU). I know that name is just a name, completely agree, but I've seen enough dull recruiters who may trash one's resume just because the name of the degree does not follow naming convention in job posting. Sad but true.
  
• CBE. Awesome. I am sick and tired of traditionally paced schooling back in Europe, so that's huge "pro" criterion. I'll never go for pay-for-credit again too. Just no.
  
• Genuine brick and mortar, college with long history and a non-profit (public community college to be precise). Once again, it's not that important in 2023, but if it's included in the price, why not? Though it's not that important for Associate, but still. 
  

I know I exaggerate importance of lots of different things but maybe that's my German paranoia
