I have a bachelors in CS, did all the coursework for my masters in CS at iowa statebut quit when my thesis was tanking and i couldn't find a prof to fund me and i ran out of $$ :-/ found the InfAs profs there to not be very good at teaching & keeping up with new things that were going on. most of my security / network knowledge has come from self learning & learning from the network & security guys at the universities b/c they seemed to be able to better explain what it was like to be in the trenches every day than the profs who read to me from an old textbook ;-)
Recently entertained going back to try and do masters in InfAs/InfoSec but it seems that most of the good schools that offer online are fairly expensive. I've looked at JMU (the GRM n00bs went/go there) but $700+ per credit hr (= $2100+ per course) is really hard for me to pay out of pocket (or even justify more student loans for...) and my boss would rather me not get an education that would give me a better opportunity to switch to a career i would enjoy more so there's no chance he would pay... anyone have other online masters infas/infosec degree recommendations besides whats already been mentioned? thanks! -Jason On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 6:15 PM, iamnowonmai <[email protected]> wrote: > Capella...
