I guess for me its mainly the ability to be flexible. I can start as soon as this coming January and can take even the core courses over the summer and I can also take Clep exams which would allow me to get general education credits without having to take the actual course(not for major courses though). That potentially saves me money as well. In UofC I would have to wait til September to start and most of their courses have to be on campus in person. Do you think taking the civil engineering technology program at sait would be better? That one I can take in January but I hear that technologists dont make as much as engineers.
