TESU vs CMU vs FHSU for Computer Science ?

I do agree with @armstrongsubero that you should do the calculus track unless you're simply so math averse that avoiding it is a number one priority. Of course, if that's so, I'd wonder if engineering is really what you want to do for a career anyway.

That really depends on what you end up using your CS degree to do. If you're focused on software/application/web development and only want the CS degree for that purpose (for which I'd argue that maybe a software development degree may be more appropriate) there isn't a lot of call for higher math in real life work, except in niche fields. Most of the best programmers I've known are self-trained and never needed to learn math higher than algebra to excel at their job. Yes, people working in graphics or physics or other fields that are highly math-focused will need higher levels of math, but those fields will attract engineers who are math focused.

If you're worried about reputation, then WGU would be dead last. I can see why it's not on the list.

WGU's CS curriculum is too new to really have a reputation. The school itself has no worse reputation than most small schools. The only reason why the state schools might be looked upon better is because they say "state" in them, but unless you're looking at a rated school, I don't really see a lot of difference between any of these schools.

At least in this area, if you don't have a degree from an ivy or an elite ranked college on your resume, every other college is the same for hiring purposes. Unless your degree is from a school with a poor reputation, like the University of Phoenix or some of the other well-known private for-profit schools with poor press.

But given the OP is not from the US, it doesn't much matter.

I wasn't talking about the curriculum having a reputation; I was talking about the school as a whole. But, it does appear that WGU's CS curriculum is more in line with what's seen at most other schools in comparison to CMU. 

I disagree with WGU being like any other small school. First of all, WGU, TESU, and Excelsior do not qualify as small schools. They have tens of thousands of students. No one really questions public universities. If it's unknown, then it's unknown. People typically don't expect public colleges and universities to be scams. WGU is becoming more and more known due to its heavy advertising. Whenever I bring it up around traditionalists, they say, "Oh, it's that online school." Some people are neutral on it because it's non-profit; others mistakenly believe it's for-profit and/or nationally accredited. Then, there are those who know someone who works at WGU, and they talk about the quality of the students. 

In short, a known online school will generally have a worse reputation than an unknown state school because the state school has no reputation. A lot of the time, unknown public colleges will have a good reputation with the local community. For example, TESU is well-known in NJ and receives a lot of grant funding. There's still a slight bias against 100% virtual schools, and they don't have strong, local connections.

I can see your point in terms of known online college vs local public college, but it also depends on what industry and location you're in. While most people have no idea what WGU is, around here WGU has a decent reputation for its IT program, which makes it seem like a better option for many when compared to the rest of the unknown public schools who don't fall into the "ivy or elite" categories.
