Please help!!!!! question regarding higher education. . .?

I am days away from getting my A.A.S in Computer Information Systems-Digital Media from CNM community college, here in town. Now I want to get my bachelors so I can get a good job with good pay etc. However I am not able to attend UNM because they do not offer anything close to what I have done so far, so I have to look elsewhere.
I have been talking with an admissions person with DeVry University and I will be able to get my bachelors in Computer Information Systems- Web Development. Which falls right into what I have done so far and would take me about 1 1/2 years to complete. I really want to get my degree and get into the field.
However, I have read A LOT of positive and negative things about DeVry, most of the negative being cost and that some employers looking down on them because they are for-profit school etc.
I am starting to get really nervous about attending and I cannot find another "traditional" school that offers anything I could fit into my schedule.
What should I do?
Moving away is possible just not any time soon. Also, they said I would be transferring as a junior

If I were an employer I would prefer to hire someone from a STATE university or college or from a REPUTABLE private college. Keep looking for a school that will allow you to transfer as many credits as possible. If you find one that takes even 75-80% of what's on your transcripts you better jump on it. You will NEVER find a school that will accept 100% of everything you've completed. Don't be afraid to relocate to another city or state if needed.

National American University offers a B.S. in Information Technology-Internet Systems Development. They also have a campus in Albuquerque, New Mexico. You might be able to take some of their classes online and some on campus, according to your schedule.

Private schools are very expensive. Like half of them also have bad reputations because they graduate everyone fast. I would really do more research if I was you. A bachelors usually takes like 4- 4 1/2 years to complete; there really are no shortcuts. 1 1/2 years seams odd but I guess private schools can award any degree they want. Try to ask around like friends or family, or neighbors and see if you can find 2-3 people who have graduated from there, they can tell you what's up. Don't ask the school counselor because they will refer you to a happy camper. Ask around for unbiased opinions. You may be suprised: it could go either way.
