Default Need opinion - online computer science degrees

Hey all, I posted on an older thread and never got any replies. So I am going to try this again . I was thinking about getting a degree in the computer science field - not sure which - and found this program while searching online American Sentinel University

It seems like a good program. It is cheap and super convenient. The school is also accredited. One of the degrees they had that I was interested in was a BS in computer science with a specialization in game programming.

I really like this program, does anyone have any feedback?

Hello,

It very much depends on what you're interested in.

If you are interested mainly in the theoretical and mathematical foundations of computing, but not about the organisation, then go for the BSc Computer Science degree (with a specialization in game programming).

That curriculum looks surprisingly weak -- especially the science and math (no calculus, no stats, no differential equations, no physics). The accreditation is a bit misleading, as well. I would avoid it.
