SUMMARY

Florida State University (FSU) offers an online Bachelor of Science in Computer Science that is equivalent to its on-campus degree. Transfer students from community colleges can confidently enroll, as employers will not differentiate between online and traditional degrees. The online format effectively delivers computer science education through lectures and programming assignments. However, students should be aware of additional course requirements, such as foreign language classes, which may extend their time in community college.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of online learning platforms and methodologies
  • Familiarity with computer science curriculum and degree requirements
  • Knowledge of transfer credit policies between community colleges and universities
  • Awareness of foreign language requirements for degree completion
NEXT STEPS
  • Research FSU's online Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program details
  • Explore effective online learning strategies for computer science courses
  • Investigate transfer credit evaluation processes for community college students
  • Review foreign language course options and their impact on degree timelines
USEFUL FOR

Transfer students from community colleges, prospective online learners, and individuals considering a degree in computer science who seek insights into online education effectiveness and requirements.

FSU has an online BS program in computer science. I plan on tranfering into the program when I graduate from my local community college. The degree is NO different than the one I would have gotten from the university, employers won't be able to tell I took the classes online. I just want to get some input on it from you guys... what do you think?

I think it will be fine, if you say it's the same as a regular B.S.. Computer science can be taught online just as easily as in person. You'll get a "lecture" over an email probably and then an assignment to write up a program. I'd say take it if you can. Only problem would be all the other classes required for your B.S...

Yes, I have completed most of them already. I am looking into that though. I may have to take TWO semesters of a foriegn language which would add to my time at the CC here. I am already on my 5th semester (next one will be my last if I don't have to take any extra classes)
