Online Universities IT Degree...who do you recommend?

I talked to Western Governors today and they seem great. I want to get an BSIT and then get a Masters eventually so I need a degree that is accredited and will allow me to transfer to any Master program in IT.

Who do you recommend?

The thing I like about Western Governors is that its competency based learning and certifications count towards college credit!!!

If anybody knows of any other please let me know.

P.S. I already know about University of Phoenix, they are too expensive.

I go to Bellevue University in Nebraska (online) www.bellevue.edu . They are regionally accredited. These are the Degrees they offer for Computing:

Computer Information Systems in Business
Computer Information Systems in Business C3 (accelerated)
Computer Information Systems - Networking
Computer Information Systems - Networking C3 (accelerated)
Computer Information Systems - Software Programming
Computer Information Systems - Systems and Network Administration (my program i'll detail below)
Computer Information Systems - Technology Advancement Program
Computer Information Systems Web-based Networking

My program Computer Information Systems - Systems and Network Administration have the following courses which is why i like it. Also roughly 70% of the books are written (Thompson Course books mostly) around the respective certifications. (70-270, 70-290, 70-291, 70-294, security+, etc). Keep in mind this is just the Major, you would still need the lower level courses if that applies to you.

Term 1
CIS 240 Introduction to UNIX
CIS 340A Business Telecommunications

Term 2
CIS 306 Advanced UNIX Administration
CIS 341A CISCO Networking

Term 3
CIS 321 Structured Systems Analysis and Design
CIS 357 Operating System Administration

Term 4
CIS 305 Management and Design of Databases
CIS 348B Network Infrastructures

Term 5
CIS 349B Managing Active Directory in the Network
CIS 352 Administration of SQL Databases

Term 6

I already own an AA degree and I know most of the courses already.
Its just a matter of finding a RESPECTABLE university which is accredited and online, and hopefully cheaper then most.

oh thats something i forgot. Bellevue will transfer an AA degree in its entirity. their view is you have already earned that credential and shouldnt need to retake those classes. I did this myself, transfered my AA and all my credits when no other respectable school would.
