Let's get WGU's CS degree for $5k

"How I Got a Computer Science Degree in 3 Months for Less Than $5000"

Why would you suddenly think this is a good idea? You said here at DI, recently:

So....? What are we to believe? My take: Nothing.

 

Oh - NOW I get it. Thanks.

 

That is too expensive. I earned my Computer Science degree from Troy University for only $2,000.00 out of my pocket for books. Sold most of my textbooks and got some money back.

 

Yes - but the rest of us (mostly) don't have the G.I. Bill going for us. You did, I believe. So... it's different. I think folks who have to use their own money would agree that $5K is a good deal.

 

No sir, I did not use my GB Bill. There were 60 credits came from CLEP an DANTES exams.

 

And the other 60 or so - how were they obtained free? You said you only spent money on books...

 

Employer reimbursement.

 

OK then. So now we know how you accomplished this. And $5K is not "too expensive," for those who have to pay with their own money. Congrats on earning your degree, at low cost to yourself. Testing-out always saves money. Great decision. And employer reimbursement is a fine thing to have - but not everyone does.
