A kid we know with aspbergers (also not social) is doing well at Stevens Tech in NJ with co-ops for computer science. He had high math SAT scores, but a rigorous high school program.
If you are looking at on-line then there are public universities that have been offering “distance learning” degrees for many years that are identical to the on-campus degrees. Some examples: Penn State offers on-line CS. UMass Amherst offers an on-line BA that may allow you to concentrate in CS. UMass Lowell offers a BA in computers/IT.

On the smaller side:
Marist has a good CS program and it also offers an on-line degree program. I don’t know how closely they are linked.
Northeastern has one of the top coop programs. U Cincinnati is another big one. Conn College has summer internship program where they fund it (for one summer). UMass Amherst and Lowell have coop programs, but they are not mandatory.
Creighton is kind of far, but it has a good CS program and an on-line degree.
Great info, thanks.

Yes, Penn State offers several online degrees, BS in Information Science and Technology, BS in Security and Risk Analysis.
I also think that finding a good program with a good fit is very important.
University of Pittsburgh has the Computer Science department in the School of Arts and Sciences, not engineering.
If your son got perfect math test scores before and can get a 600 at least in Reading on the SAT, that would be a 1400 CR&M , nothing to sneeze at. The new SAT is more reading comprehension now and less vocab so if he takes a few practice tests he might even score higher.
He could get merit at several good schools.
@rhandco , your son sounds like a good candidate for CLEP credits. Google it, but basically a student tests out of basic classes such as English 101,math 101, etc…and doesn’t have to take those classes in college. It’s cheap, and saves a lot of time. The catch is that you have to got to a college that accepts CLEP credits. Many do, and your sons stats should get him in to schools such as Towson, Ithaca, Denison, Roger Williams, James Madison, etc… Many of these colleges won’t accept CLEP for everything, but I beleive that U Conn accepts dozens of different CLEP credits. I would look at that possibility.
Marist also had/has a good reputation for their accommodations for kids needing services.
