Choice among on-line RN-BSN programs

[chuckster]

I've been looking into the various on-line RN-BSN programs for a few weeks now. There are dozens of such programs but I've managed to narrow the candidates down to just two: Ohio Univer and UT-Arlington. These 2 schools make my shortlist because each is a brick & mortar school, their on-line programs are an extension of their traditional classroom programs, each school is generally recognized outside of their immediate geographical area and tuition at both is reasonable. I admit that these criteria are somewhat arbitrary but all of them are important to me for reasons that are a bit difficult to quantify (except of course for the last one).

I've read through lots of posts on this site about RN-BSN on-line programs and while there are a couple of threads about both OU and UT-A, I would have expected more. Is there are reason that these 2 programs are not more popular? Are there any current or former students out there with opinions and advice about them? Am I overlooking other schools that meet the criteria I've set out?

I am also curious to know how what everyone eventually decided and how the education went :)

My original post from February 2011 appears on the first page. I ended up selecting Western Governors University since their credit transfer policies were generous and the tuition was affordable.
