<p>Is anyone familiar with the "Post-Baccalaureate" courses in Computer Science offered by Berkely's online university? There are some advance languages that aren't specifically offered at DS's college and it seemed like a good opportunity for the summer - they are self-paced. OMG - just saw that prices increase tomorrow! Wow - don't think we can decide for sure tonight!</p>

<p>Would a course affiliated with Berkely provide more knowledge and/or be more highly regarded than other online courses?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I think it is hard to tell how online courses are evaluated–but Cal Extension generally does a very responsible job and it is a well known institution so probably a reasonable risk and not problematic in terms of the caliber of the learning. Seems like a practical approach to desired learning over the summer. But if you want the home institution to credit it, you definitely need to get their opinion/regulations around this. Does make me curious about looking at what they offer…</p>
