I want to do a DIY BS degree in Computer Science. I have 12 years work experience in IT so I am confident I have most of the knowledge already. I just want the piece of paper to prove it.
- I'm not interested in the teaching
- I want to keep this as cheap as possible (under $5,000)
- I'm looking for a 100% exam assessed course
- I want to take the exams at my own pace (ideally complete within 9 months)
According to this website there are at least 3 colleges that offer this:
http://www.doityourselfdegree.com/get-started/
- Excelsior: BS in Computer Technologies
- Thomas Edison: BA in Computer Science
- Charter Oak: BS in Computer Science
Questions:
- does anyone have any experience doing a DIY degree?
- does anyone have experience with the 3 colleges listed above?
- can anyone recommend other USA colleges/Universities that offer accredited BS computer science degrees that match the above criteria?
- any other advice/recommendations welcome
