HELP to decide -Computer Science/Engineering/IT

[ACI]

@ACI, just wondering are you still in the state of NJ? Oh, is the homeschooler busy with other commitments besides coursework?  Is he planning to start working or something such as volunteering?  What have you setup for his budget?  Has he decided on a school he would like to attend and graduate from?  We have some basic info, but would be better if we have more details.  

Let's also find out what you and the significant other can bring to the table.  Do either of you work for companies that belongs to unions?  If that is the case, you can get an inexpensive Associates degree and Bachelors degree.  Another option is, the young man can find a job at Amazon, Target, Walmart, whatever you can think of, and go for a degree from partner universities, you can get reimbursement up to $5K/year...

I am also wondering, have you and the SO talked with the son to find out how he would like to proceed?  I see you mentioned online classes, so I guess he's going for an online degree.  There are other options, such as WGU, they provide a few degrees at the undergraduate and graduate level in the fields he may be interested in.  My suggestion though is a TESU undergrad & WGU grad degree.

What I usually recommend and suggest is for people to work on 3 things: Certs, Degree, Experience.  You may also want to review this thread and copy/paste all the credits he currently has and anything missing that you may want to provide us, the more details, the better to help him, such as which dual enrollment college he's at and courses taken: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

Yes, still in NJ!  No, he currently doesn't have a consistent job, so definitely has time to put toward school.  At this point, I don't think we will get a job at the chain stores you mentioned (for tuition reimbursement), but I appreciate the ideas!  

Yes, we have talked with him at length.  He doesn't have a desire to go away to school during the year (he is away the whole summer for a job).  With the state/cost of most colleges now, we (and he) would prefer an online degree at this point. He isn't super motivated on his own to dive into the adult world to figure out what he wants to do, lol.  He enjoys computers, gaming, programming, cyber security, solving real world computer problems etc.  But, left to his own, he isn't what I'd call a super motivated kid.  

But, we need to move in a direction at this point and he seems to like the flexibility of a computer science degree.  

Here are the classes he's taken so far (I'll update the top of the thread also.)
English 101 (ASU)
Macroeconomics (ASU)
Computer App and Info Tech (ASU)
Intro to Programming (ASU)
General Chemistry for Engineers (ASU)
Biology (Faith Bible College)
US History 1 (CLEP)
Accounting for Business (ASU...took the class, but have not paid for credit yet)
