ITT a good ISS school to attend?

Hi all, Hopefully this question is directed to the right list. I am considering going to ITT Tech for a.a. in SAP (Software Application Programming) and a b.s. in ISS (Information Systems Security. ) I have heard a wide variety of pros and cons about ITT ranging from "you learn more than other 4-year regular colleges" to "the instructors don't even know what they are teaching and all you learn is how to pass a certification, provided your instructor didn't already sell it to you." One of the main reasons I am considering ITT is because it is the only school in Southern California that I know of that offers a degree in ISS. Should I instead of looking for a degree in ISS but rather focus on a degree in programming & networking then get security certifications? Also does anyone know if ITT is really that horrible and if I should instead of going to ITT go to a junior college? Are my chances of getting a job leading to a ISS job even lower than if I went to a four-year college? I do realize that security can be hard to get into and may have to settle for a tech support job and work my way up from there. Finally, if ITT isn't a good school, any suggestions on a good ISS/programming school that is located in Southern California? Curtis
