I'm curious to know which online school you went to, why you chose it from other viable options (if there were/are any)?

Thanks for the input. I was not aware of the regional/national accreditation differences.

I'm currently going to the Florida Institute of Technology. Unfortunately, they don't have an online degree in Computer Science, so I am majoring in Computer Information Systems. One of the reason's I chose to go here is because it is regularly listed in the top 200 schools on the U.S. News website, so there wasn't really any question about it's legitimacy. That being said, there were lots of other schools that I could have just as easily ended up going to, and if I can't afford to finish once I get out of the military(we get a huge discount), I'll probably switch to a cheaper school with a Computer Science program.
