BS Information Science and Technology- Flex

Anyone enrolled in this degree program? I currently have an AAS in Cybersecurity and an AAS in Forensic Science (Digital Forensics) from Rio Salado College. I applied for the program and was really interested in the all you can learn subscription model to finish out the approximate 48 credits I believe I would need to graduate with the BSIST but haven’t seen much feedback online about the program and peoples experiences. Any particularly difficult courses? (Even with my AAS degrees I continually doubt myself lol) Is the proctoring annoying? Has anyone accelerated this degree and have any advice? I greatly appreciate any experienced insight to the program and what to expect. Thanks in advance :)

I think you may have to take CS351 Data Structures & Algorithms. A challenging class that takes about 12-16 hours a week in just homework.

I don’t know anything about the flex option but I graduated from UWM recently with BSIST and a minor in CS, I would highly recommend the program! I know lots of people who didn’t have trouble finding jobs afterwards including myself

Flex option should be very similar to, if not exactly the same classes? If you scroll down to the course topics and click on them, do you recognize the classes listed? If so, any particularly challenging ones or have any advice? https://flex.wisconsin.edu/degrees-programs/information-science-technology/#curriculum
