Review:

I enrolled in KU because I have a BA in Psychology and wanted to change careers. KU offered a BS in IT in Web Multimedia and Animation. It is not the most challenging coursework. I could have gone through a traditional design or IT program and received the deeper artistic or technical training. The convenience of the courses and the relevance of the material are worth it to me. I needed the structure this program provides.

For technical degree / certification, I recommend going through each cert. program on your own if you are good at that. Sure is less expensive! (BTW, KU offers a certificate program too, but I'm not in a place to comment on it).

I'm sticking it out because I made the commitment. Courses seem to be more rewarding if I put more into it. It's an expensive option, but will pay off for me in a few years' work.
