CS Correspondence/Online Schools?

cs dropout asks: "I'm one of those quit-school-to-take-great-job-in-the-industry guys, and now I'd like to finish up my degree. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience or recommendations for a Correspondence school or one with a completely online program. I have about 70 credits now, and am looking to finish up my CS Major, but I don't have time around work to attend regular classes. Suggestions?" It's difficult for people to work first and get their degrees later, mostly due to the fact that a lot of people don't have the time for college after starting their careers. Such schools like this would make it a lot easier for folks to test-the-waters in this rapidly changing industry and would serve to focus their choices when they do decide to finish their education. Thoughts?

Try Florida State University. They have a distance learning program which allows Computer Science majors to complete their junior and senior years completely online.
The only downside is that you need an AA or higher. You can get more information at http://www.fsu.edu/~distance.
I am halfway through my first class in this program, and the quality is level is high. The instructors reply to email very quickly, and the web based software is easy and efficient to use. If you can get an AA with your 70 credits, this is definately the way to go.
