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!

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?
