Distance Learning/Online Masters in Info Sec - Is it worth it?

["Wajahat Usmani" <wusmani () gmail com>]

Hello List,
I have just started my career in Dubai, and I want to pursue a
Master's degree in Information Security. What are my options if I want
to stay in Dubai and study further? Are online Info Sec degrees of any
worth? Im asking in terms of learning and market value.
I have seen a number of options, and I would appreciate if you could
also identify institutions that offer online/distance
learning/external programs of good standing. As of now, only two
courses I have found to be good, one being Royal Holloway's Info Sec
degree and the other Norwich University's Information Assurance
program.

Any suggestions or comments?
