My personal opinion but I consider many private technical schools a poor choice for technical education. I have visited a few private technical colleges and noted the tuition costs to be far to high and/or the acceptance criteria far to low. All the ones I have visited I would not recommend to anyone from high school, unless maybe your planing to transfer out of that school soon or you're taking specific courses from there. If continued education is what you're looking for then some of those schools did offer appealing course descriptions for their continued education courses. Because Information Systems Security/information security is an interest of yours you could start your research by googling NSA schools of excellence. http://www.nsa.gov/ia/academia/caeiae.cfm Within there are listings of schools the NSA recognizes for their information security programs/curricula. This would be a good starting point because many of the school listed therein are already well recognized names: Carnegie Mellon University (CERT), Florida State, Stanford, Georgia Tech, Perdue, etc. But don't forget to review the NSA criteria for measurement for any bias. Remember this is just a starting point, you should not limited your selection to the schools listed therein. A website that I frequent _www.certcities.com_ (http://www.certcities.com/) has many members that posting questions related to your topic *hint*. Good look!
