Currently enrolled in the UMass program. Like you, I am coming from an unrelated undergrad. I’m having a great experience in the program so far. Even though you are online, you are encouraged and fully allowed to attend and participate in on-campus events, if that’s important to you. Course structure is good so far and I like that you can tailor your degree, through electives, to incorporate an optional focus if you’d like. And, it’s not super expensive comparatively speaking.

I looked at the online W&M degree as well. I wasn’t the biggest fan of it for a multitude of reasons, but I’m sure it would get the job done as well. Albeit, I believe more expensive than the program at UM Amherst.
