UMPI YourPace Computer Science

[ss20ts]

Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I discovered this forum from a comment on HackerNews. 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:

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,
Rachel

Seems that I left off the  attachment. Trying again -

Ms. Rice is well knowledgable about the YourPace program. There is NOT a CS program in YourPace at this time. 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.
