Ok I’m going to start school and get a BS in compsci in under a year.
CS is probably the most flexible degree, right?
Here’s what I’m planning on doing:
I’m going to enroll in WGU, an accredited online school, which charges per term rather than per credit. Around $4000 per 6 months. It is self paced.
I’m going to do as many required courses as possible on study.com and straighterline, and transfer those credits when I enroll. This will save a lot of money.
Then, once I enroll in WGU, I will hopefully have only around 30-50 credits to complete to graduate, and hopefully I will be able to finish within one term.
All said and done, this should cost significantly less than $10k, probably less than $7500. I want to pursue a degree because the market is saturated, so it will help me stand out. I will probably pursue a master’s after I graduate. WGU also offers MS degrees
