New Study.com courses (5/16/19)

I spoke to an advisor at COSC when I was comsidering my options. The GS degree can be listed as a BS in Computer Science on your resume and as far as I understand nowhere is General Studies Listed.

COSC doesn't offer a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, the closest degree is their Bachelor of Science in General Studies with a concentration in Computer Science Studies and it can only be completed via transfer credits. I'm fairly sure that the degree transcript will show General Studies as the major regardless of the concentration.

...

If you want to be a programmer you don't really need a degree at all if you can demonstrate your skill in other ways, but if you want a degree to get your foot in the door and get hired as a software engineer then I strongly recommend that you aim for a BA or BS in Computer Science or Software Development to be taken seriously. But that is just my perspective. Though I am a hiring manager and someone with a few decades of experience in software development.

 The degree earned is either a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science with a major in General Studies and a concentration in one or more specific subjects. The major and concentration are printed on the official transcript, but not the diploma.

yeah, I'm not sure COSC would be the way to go ... HR departments can be really picky
unless you already have a job and just need any degree to get promoted 
OR if you're goal is really to get a Masters in Computer Science or Data Science and you just need a bachelors to get in 
but it still seems like WGU would be the way to go (if you're in the US) 
they have plenty of computer related degrees

I wonder which of the study.com courses they would accept
