Computer Science Online Program?

Hello everyone , I am 19 year old and currently working at a bank and the job has a benefit where I can study at this university , the online computer science BS degree.

I wanted to ask if anyone has any experience with it and is it worth it or not ? I have some other universities as option but this one so far seems to be the best so I just wanted to ask!

Thank you!

OSU has a great online program and I'd say it's a steal for free, even if you're just taking 1-2 classes while working.

Oh thank you very much for replying ! Yes I am planning to take at least 3-5 classes, I think I'll be able to do it ! And yes it is a steal to get it completely for free, i won't have to pay any student loans !

OSU's online degrees are very highly regarded. They use the same professors for the online courses as they do on campus, so the credits are completely transferable.

You mean the credits are transferable to other universities if I wish to do so? Btw will it anywhere in degree say I got it online ?

Thank you for your reply !

We’ve hired a handful of people fresh from OSU who have done the online program, all have been solid engineers
