Hello all. Long time lurker here who's preparing to return to school. Thought I'd plunge in by starting a thread.
I noticed that Oregon State is offering a second bachelors degree in C.S. and they waive distribution requirements. So, all you need to take is 14 computer science courses. (One of those courses, Discrete Structures, is basically a math course.) The only math prerequisite is Precalculus.
The program ain't cheap at $630 a credit hour, but a second degree in Computer Science from a recognized university for just less than $9000 total? That strikes me as being an attractive value proposition. But I'd love to hear the opinions of others. The members here are a terrific source of knowledge and experience. I'm just getting my feet wet.
What I like about this program is how they waived distribution requirements so you don't need to bother with general courses. I'd be interested to learn of other schools offering similar math/stats/c.s second bachelors degrees that only require completion of major courses.
