If you want to be a software engineer, you should look into computer science programs. There a few “software engineering” undergrad programs, but they seem to be rare. An undergrad program in CS will prepare you to enter software engineering, as well as give you more options for graduate school (if that’s your goal). Two ABET/CAS accredited Bachelor of Science in Computer Science programs available online are:
Florida State University: [FSU</a> Online - Prospective Online Students - Undergraduate Programs - Computer Science](<a href=“Distance@FSU”>Distance@FSU)
Regis University: [BS</a> in Computer Science Degree - Regis University CPS](<a href=“http://cps.regis.edu/degrees-bachelors-computer-science.php]BS”>http://cps.regis.edu/degrees-bachelors-computer-science.php)
Both schools are non-profit. There are plenty of other programs, just as the one offered at University of Illinois - Springfield, but the FSU and Regis programs are ABET accredited, which could serve to further validate the programs when searching for a job or graduate program.
By the way, University of Illinois - Springfield does have a fully online Bachelor of Arts in Mathematical Sciences (and it’s a legitimate math degree, with all of the upper division courses you would see at any state university): [Admission</a> to the Online program - Curriculum - Mathematical Sciences - University of Illinois at Springfield - UIS](<a href=“http://www.uis.edu/math/curriculum/online/index.html]Admission”>http://www.uis.edu/math/curriculum/online/index.html)
