FSU allows you to do pretty much all of your upper level (BS) CS work
online.  I suspect this is because most of your CS work is generally
done on your own hardware anyways.

For testing, you MUST go to a community college and have the test proctored=
..

My suspicion is that a full online EE course would be suspect since EE
courses are generally more lab oriented than a CS degree would be.
Online would be a good option for math and generic science (as well as
your Liberal Arts) courses since they would not require lab work.

A trend I have started to see is that even when you are talking about
Comunity College for something, many of your course options will be
"Hibred."  I have found these to be a good option for liberal arts
courses, and have not tried for a math or science course.

Kevin, you are right, ITT says they are accredited, but that could
mean anyone.  My wife attended career training and was able to get
funding through student loans (its big business).  In my view,
accredidation is still a fairly precarious thing since there is no
single entity that does the accrediting -- that is why I generally
suggest (to those who would listen -- I also mentor a FIRST team where
the kids generally listen) state schools since they are accountable to
the government, which in my mind adds some credibility to them.

For those who are interested, there was an interesting movie (PBS) on
Netflix -- I think it was called Education Inc. or something like
that.  When I get home I will post the actual name.  The documentary
went into the insane ways that schools can get started here -- and the
main subject point was online courses.
