    I'd been eyeing the BS:CS since it had been announced; the MS:CSIA was far too 'fluffy' (lacking in 'crunch') for me, and the CS program feels so so deliciously crunchy how could I not?

    My term started Aug 1 but I was prepped for a cissp class in the first week as well. I figured a week for class, a week for study and I'd be only marginally behind, yet here we are near the end of August and I'm just now starting. PLUS:

    Term1:
    - Calculus 1
    - Discrete Math I
    - Discrete Math II

    ...

    Pray for me.

    Good luck! I am also going to be chasing WGU Part 3. I'll be attempting the MBA program in a couple months.

    I love that you're pursuing this! Keep it up!

    I just can't say enough good things about WGU. Unfortunately I won't be able to take anything else since I'm now maxxed out with my Financial Aid. I have learned so much from the WGU programs I've done.

    I'm eyeing that BSCS at WGU. It seems the cheapest option to get into a MSCS program, specifically the OMSCS.

    That was my thought as well; Looking at specializations (I go to GATech & look at their MS options), there are several that look interesting.
