Empire State IS Degree Vs Excelsior IT Degree?

Anyone compare the IS degree program at ESC http://www.esc.edu/esconline/aos/bmearea.nsf/wholeshortlinks2/Information+Systems?opendocument

vs the IT degree program at Excelsior?

Looks like each ESC course would be over $100 cheaper than an Excelsior course, plus the school name just sounds better.

I think it will be much less expensive to go to ESC even though I would have to take a few extra classes since they don't give credit for IT certifications like Excelsior does.
With Excelsiors new program requirements, I don't think I would save much time completing the new IT degree program there vs Empire State college.

 

Fort Hays State University offers a Bachelor of Science in Information Networking & Telecommunications Computer Networking which might better address your particular situation and interests. There are other students on this board enrolled at FHSU.

This the first I'm hearing of that program.

They list the requirements on their website as below:

Program Requirements Overview

General Education Requirements 55 hours
INT Major Core Courses 18 hours
Required Computer Networking & Telecommunications Concentration Courses 15 hours
Elective Computer Networking & Telecommunication Concentration Courses 15 hours
Cross-concentration Electives 6 hours
Free Electives 15 hours
TOTAL HOURS REQUIRED FOR DEGREE 124 hours


Is there a more detailed and specific course requirement list (such as math and computer programming requirements) available without enrolling first?

So, what could you say are the main advantages FHSU would have over Empire State University?
