Bachelor of Computer Science degree at WGU Announced

This is potentially big news for those computer science aficionados looking for a pure CS degree https://www.reddit.com/r/WGU/comments/7wfztr/computer_science_announced/

Supposedly, it's a BSCS and it's ABET accredited.

We'll see.

Things I expect from from a traditional CS degree are:

1. Lots of heavy math
2. Data structures and algorithms theory
3. Computer architecture and operating system theory
4. Tons of programming including assembler language and compilers
5. Data and computer networking theory
6. Artificial intelligence and cyber-security/information assurance theory

I'm interested to see what they do with a master's program, if they go through with one of those as well.

Would be nice if they made an official announcement vs just people saying their mentor said something with zero details otherwise. They did say a year or so ago they were going to offer a CS program so it's not a crazy idea, but I'd wait until the school actually posts info, people are already asking if they should switch degree programs without knowing anything about it.

I wouldn't mind going back for a degree like that. Pure CS could really help me strengthen some of my weak areas.
