B.S & M.S. in Computer Science
B.S. in Computer Science, M.S. in Software Engineering
B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics

Please give reasoning behind your answer, I want what would make me the most marketable in the real world, and I would graduate in 2015, so I doubt the recession would still be that big of a deal.

What about a Philosophy major and CS minor? I want to get into medical school as well so I’ll need to take the science courses for that.

I’ve been working since as a professional “software engineer” and have been quite successful. But I’d like to get a MS in Computer Science (to give me more career options and as a good example for my kids).

What would be a good institution for me to finish (or start over on) a BS degree? It would be nice to get transfer credit and even work experience credit, but it’s more important to me that I get a degree that would be recognized by a good university MS program.

Since I have a full-time job and a wife and kids, it would be more convenient for me to take all or the majority of my courses online.

I’d also like the program to be modern and interesting. I’d like courses to be available on subjects such as compiler theory, distributed computing and even software engineering with agile methodologies.

Am I asking for too much?

Would you give them the same considersation as someone who got their degree at a regular college? If no, why?

I would like to get a head start before going in.
Any books or subject recommendations?

I’ve enjoyed all my CS classes to this point, but a law enforcement career has always been enticing to me. How would this degree be looked at when I apply for a job?

Side note: My school doesn’t offer a plain criminal justice degree. It is a 4 year sociology degree with maybe two criminal justice classes thrown in.
