Norwich is an accredited university; it was the first private military
college in the US.  

I have an MS-IA from Iowa State.  While I could see how some of it could
easily be taught via an online format, I'm grateful for the hands-on lab
facilities and other interations that being in a classroom granted.  I
wouldn't have done it any other way.

Potential employers tend to be quite impressed by the degree, once they
realize what it is.  It's still not a very well known program or course of
study, but I feel that it's slowly gaining more recognition.

That is very encouraging - even I have been thinking of doing MSIA -
but does it matter if it is from Norwich or from any other univ. 
Capella Univ also claims they have some NSA recognition? Any one
aware of Capella there? 
Thanks,
raj



I know people have said it is educational, however how is this degree
viewed by potential employers?  Is Norwich Unv an accredited university,
Capella?  Do Employers believe such an education from these online
universities are in fact valuable?

Comments, Opinion?
