    Thanks to all those who replied to my other thread. I think however after some searching and reading the replies that maybe I will stick with the BSCS option.

    There are 3 schools I like for a BSCS:

    Regis
    $340 a semester hour
    2 Classes Per 5 week terms

    Franklin
    $292 a semester hour
    normal 12 week classes per semester

    National University
    $222 a Quarter hour
    1 Class per month format

    These 3 schools seem to have fairly robust BSCS degrees (minus a few things here or there). I am really looking for not only a degree, but also a quality eduation.

    I was hoping someone with some BSCS experience or background could comment on the programs and which overall might be the better long term option?

    Although I ended up taking my degree from TESC, I took a large number of CS classes from Regis.

    Things to be aware of at Regis:
    1) Although they do have classes that are 5 weeks in duration, most of the CS and Math classes are 8 weeks in length, as are all classes that are taken online.
    2) This is the only school on your list that requires the traditional Calculus series, the other two only require one Calculus course. If you have any desire to go to graduate school (for CS), this may hamper your ability to get in (without taking additional undergraduate courses after getting your degree), although if your wanted to get into an MBA or CIS program, this shouldn't be a problem.
    3) Regis is probably better known than the others.

    Just my thoughts, best of luck to you.

    Thanks for the thoughts. The higher math requirements was one of the major reasons Regis was still on my list.

    I haven't figured out though what people have against franklin university. There seems to be little discussion and yet nobody every recommends them.
