Good question.

I was looking into this a few years back, and ended getting my BS in-person, at the big state school nearby. It paid off well.

That said, these are other online options I considered.

Portland State University -- has a BS in CS that's fully online. They also have an option for people who are getting a 2nd BS, from another field. * https://www.pdx.edu/computer-science/progrgam-preparation

Harvard Extension - Bachelor's in CS * https://www.extension.harvard.edu/academics/undergraduate-de...

Arizona State - BS in Software Engineering * https://go.asuonline.asu.edu/

I had a co-worker during one of my internships going through this program, at SNHU, fully online & remote, and he liked it a lot: https://www.snhu.edu/online-degrees/bachelors/bs-in-computer...

Just some food for thought. There are many more options. Good luck!

The PSU link you posted:

Yea, as someone who is admitted to their CS program but unable to find online courses to actually continue, this web message really hits home.

Had a look at the Harvard option and it looks like you need to attend some of the courses on site as part of earning the degree, so it's not 100% online if I read it correctly.

In what way has your CS bachelor paid off? Also, how much did it cost?
