Your local Community College might offer them online. I did most of my AS that way.


Most community colleges "CS" programs consist of IT courses, with a few CS courses mixed in. Which is a shame.


Indeed. Even within the same CC system it can vary. Mine had a lot that mapped directly to my university's (Intro to CS, Data Structures & Algorithms, Language/Topic specific courses - C# and MySQL for example). Meanwhile even the "technical" school in the same system had only two or three basic CS courses. My CC even has a real electronics program! (as opposed to the more common journeyman electrician and solar installer programs) Where theory and practice are taught!
