Review:

Simply stated, CSU provides a justifiable program and degree. CSU is not regionally accredited. CSU is nationally accredited. CSU provides an "at your own pace" curriculum; however, this does not degrade the effectiveness of the course.

I've taken many courses and acquired many certifications in the field of technology. CSU's program proved to be just as valuable as any of my previous certifications. This was not only because of the degree credential but also for the knowledge gained. As with any program (including those regionally accredited), there were several things learned and a few things found wrong.

Little known facts: 
1. A degree is a "test" of motivation, adaptablity, and the ability to learn. 
2. Most employers hire based on the applicant's motivation, knowledge, and/or experience. 
3. A thorough knowledge of a subject is only aquired when consistently applied.
4. Some fields required specialized or intense understanding of the subject; however, most of these aren't provided by online institutions.

The only real problem I've had is the degree conferral, which took several weeks to complete. Otherwise, A+!
