To me, it is completely obvious that Professors hate the online education system. If they did believe in it, there would be a lot more interaction by the Professors in the classes they teach online. Instead most Professors allow themselves to treat it like a correspondence class, where they write up instructions and just expect students to learn on their own.
The day Professors actually start looking to engage with their students is the day that Online Education makes a complete turn for the better. There are little things that they could do such as recording a lecture by video or by just by audio.
Both UIUC and UIS (University of Illinois) both have Master's programs that will accept students that are non-cs grads. Like what @jlund3 mentioned, they just need to have some CS fundamental classes or be able to show that you have those skill sets.
Straight Talk is the way I would go. They have Unlimited Data, Text, and Voice all for 45 bucks.. If my wife didn't upgrade her iPhone a couple of months ago, we'd be switching to that. Save us a ton of money a month.
This is probably going to work like University of Maryland and their MBA program.
They have a MBA program at Smith School of Business that is offered at UMD @ College Park which is their primary school. Then there is the MBA from UMUC (University of Maryland University College). Two different types of MBA's (One is officially ranked and the other isn't), but has the University of Maryland name on it. If you are not from the DC Metro area or keep track of this, you could think that a UMUC MBA is the same thing as a MBA from Smith which is a Top 25 program.
