Hey everyone! I'm contemplating whether to pursue a Bachelor's in Computer Science at WGU as I need a degree for immigration purposes in the next ten years. I already have an associate's degree, and I'm considering transferring to a state college with online options. However, a coworker recommended WGU for its regional accreditation and affordability. I know that having a degree is just a checkbox in the CS field nowadays, and I plan to work on projects to build my portfolio alongside the degree. My main concern is whether this degree will be a waste of money or if it's a good fit for my needs, especially since a state college would take longer and cost more. I'd appreciate any insights you might have on this! Thanks a lot!

Just a heads up, WGU has been facing some internal issues lately, including layoffs and employee dissatisfaction. This might affect students, like delays in records or support. So, while it’s affordable and accredited, think about how these conflicts might impact your experience there.
Getting a BS will definitely help you, mainly for HR purposes. It's a necessary checkbox to get in the door. After that, your competence and projects will matter more than the degree itself. So, keep a strong portfolio on GitHub and work on a standout personal project that you can showcase during interviews.
