Hi everyone,

I'm looking at starting an online degree program early next year. I already hold a BS in Human Ecology (minor in Business) from the University of Tennessee, however I've been doing some freelance/volunteer work in web design since college, and I've found that it's what I really enjoy. I would love to make it a full-time career. I'd like to get a BS in IT with a specialization in Web Development and Design. So far I've seriously looked at WGU and Capella, and both of their programs look impressive. However I've heard negatives on both schools... like that WGU is really more for people who are already accomplished in their respective fields, and that Capella is overpriced for what you get (and doesn't have a very good reputation anyway).

 Would any of you have suggestions for other schools that might work better or have well-balanced programs? Online learning is my only option at this point, as I work full-time and tend to have a crazy schedule. I'm definitely not wanting to "buy" a degree... I want to LEARN and be well-prepared for my new field upon graduation. Both Capella and WGU have been emailing/calling me daily since I applied... but I won't be making a definite decision until I've looked at all the alternatives.

 Any help would be appreciated... thanks for your time! :)
