To Chico's point on tuition, that's a lot of dough to shell out if you aren't fully bought into the value they are offering. If the degree from that institution is going to open doors that would otherwise be closed, I'd say yes.
There are plenty of majors where all the student is really getting is that colleges brand of diploma. How many college classes directly relate to future work outside STEM? There are plenty of HR personnel without Organizational Behavior degrees. Or Investment people with unrelated degrees. Where you graduate from is as likely to open doors as a specific degree. But after a few years the “where you graduated” field is leveled by what have you accomplished as a professional?
