Hi Sajitha, I'm currently in the MS HCI program at DePaul and will graduate after the next term. It's been a great experience for me, although I've never taken any "DL" (distance learning) classes, as the school refers to them. The program is definitely more geared towards practicing interaction design/user experience professionally than to the academic side. I don't see this as a bad thing for what it's worth. The only "complaints" (and I stress the air quotes) I've heard from classmates is that if you're not already involved in software design/development, that the program is better for networking than learning about HCI/UX.
That said, if you're going the distance learning route, I strongly recommend getting involved in whatever design community you have in your area, or even start a local IxDA group if there isn't one already. Good luck! -Bill . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
