There maybe in the future. They didn't even have an on campus program until January this year! If you looked at the YourPace website you'd see there is not a CS degree at this time.

Of course I've checked the current YourPace listings. I had asked Ms Rice if there were any plans for the CS program to be available sometime in the future through YourPace.
Ms. Rice handles the marketing for the university not degree design. She would not be the person who creates the degrees. You should contact the YourPace office.

Many students get out of Universities with comsci degrees and have minimal amount of knowledge.

No it is not. UMPI has not announced a CS program for YourPace.

My understanding is that only ACE is accepted.

I dropped out of college many years ago but have been working professionally as a software engineer for the past few years due to a lot of luck. I'd like to change that and have an official CS degree (though I do have self directed CS education).
Anyways, the UMPI YourPace CS degree sounded exactly perfect for me. I sent an email enquiring yesterday about when it may be available. I got the following reply, which is disappointing. Maybe it's possible that Ms. Rice is not informed about the YourPace program, or maybe the original announcement in this thread was either a misunderstanding, or it was not actually approved.
The attachment reads:
Quote:Thanks so much for your email! I'm not sure whether UMPI will offer the Computer Science degree as a YourPace program in the future, but that's not the case right now. I will certainly let our Academics team know, though, about your interest should Computer Science be added to the YourPace lineup. Thanks very much,

Seems that I left off the attachment. Trying again -
UMPI we don't know how their Computer Science will look. It may end up being better or worse than TESU/WGU.
If you already got credits from college, TESU is a great option.
You're already a software engineer, don't expect to learn much by getting a degree. The main courses that may be new to you will be Calculus, Discrete Math, Data Structures & Computer Architecture.
The hardest thing is coming up with a plan and getting started. Sophia.org has a free trial with no time limit that allows you to explore the 1st lesson of each course as well as download the entire pdf of the course.
Degrees: BA Computer Science, BS Business Administration with a concentration in CIS, AS Natural Science & Math, TESU. 4.0 GPA 2022.
Course Experience: CLEP, Instantcert, Sophia.org, Study.com, Straighterline.com, Onlinedegree.org, Saylor.org, Csmlearn.com, and TEL Learning.
Certifications: W3Schools PHP, Google IT Support, Google Digital Marketing, Google Project Management

If you're interested in UMPI Computer Science, be sure to tell UMPI you would love an online Computer Science degree. This is a VERY EXPENSIVE online program to offer. They need to make sure they can break at least even on it.
