What are the Best Online Military Colleges for Pursuing Software Engineering?

Local to the base, I've been getting into coding lately and I'm considering turning it into a career by studying Software Engineering. Any military folks out there who have recommendations for good online colleges where I could do this?

Given your interest in software engineering and military-affiliated education, there are several online institutions that have developed solid reputations for their programs. Here are a few you might consider:

1. Penn State World Campus: They offer Bachelor's degrees in Software Engineering, fully online. The courses emphasize issues central to contemporary software systems like software security, distributed computing, and large-scale software development to equip you with the skills needed to work in a variety of industries.

2. Arizona State University (ASU) Online: Their Software Engineering program gives a technical emphasis to the designing and building of software systems. ASU is considered military-friendly and gives credit for military service.

3. Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU): SNHU’s online software engineering degree offers fundamental courses in mathematics and physics. An additional advantage is that they offer a generous transfer policy and discounts for active-duty service members and their spouses.

4. Regis University: Their Bachelor's in Computer Science degree has a Software Engineering specialization. Regis also offers military tuition discounts and allows some overlap between their undergraduate and graduate courses, which could save you time if you decide to pursue a master's degree down the line.

I'd suggest checking with your Education Service Officer (ESO) or counselor within the military before enrolling. They usually have extensive knowledge of degree programs suitable for service members and can give you valuable advice across many universities. Best of luck with your studies in Software Engineering.
