Best Computer Science Bachelor's Online
"Upper Iowa University has been ranked among the top schools in the nation for Best Online Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science for 2017. College Choice stated that UIU’s online bachelor’s degree in information systems provides students the tools to understand both the technical and organizational factors of system infrastructure. Students learn how to use, manage, and implement information technologies to solve real business problems. They similarly gain a working expertise of computing, communications, and software development principles, languages, and methods. Though not strictly a computer science degree, the information systems major can be paired with a computer science specialization." https://uiubridge.com/2017/09/20/online-computer-science-degree-ranked-30th-in-nation/
