@ryoder and @geezer,
the information on this thread is extremely valuable for a CS major. I am leaving Excelsior's BSIT because TESC's BA CS is much more traditional and I believe that [if I do well] it will be my ticket into grad school.
Excelsiors BS IT is concentration based, and they used to have an "Object Oriented Programming" concentration, but they have gotten rid of that and are replacing it with a "Cyber Security" concentration. I had been looking at local universities here, and I was honestly amazed at how much much math is required for the CS programs! By the end of your sophomore year you should have completed Calc VI, and then be moving on to either differential equations or physics w calc, and finally statistics and linear algebra or matrix algebra.
TESC requires calc 1 and 2, Linear algebra or discrete math. TESC's comprehensive plan also seems great for people with less than 1 1/2 remaining in school.
