What is a trusted online college for computers, specifically web development and cybersecurity?

Im looking to persue a bachelors degree in either cybersecurity or web development (i havent decided which one yet). I dont really know much about either of those but i have a desire to learn, as the job market for computers is growing everyday. Any advice will be appreciated, thanks!

American Military University. There are recruiters and advisors from AMU on RP as well. I look forward to learning from this thread as I may go for a degree with AMU.

Don't forget there are also certifications and online training to show your knowledge on sites like cybrary.it, edx, coursera, and many others.

Web development doesn't necessarily need a degree. It's one of those jobs that a client will want to see a portfolio for. Still, classes definitely won't hurt. If you want to get your feet wet, here's a good link to check out. It's free.

The "Make a website" course is a good place to start, however, I'd also recommend "Learn Java" and "JavaScript"

I would also recommend this link.

Cyber security is a broad field so my recommendation is to take a look at the different aspects of cyber security and go for the one you like the best. Here's a few colleges to look into.

University of Phoenix is very popular. I went to the brick and mortar but they also have on line curriculum. Classes are taught by practitioners who have been there.
