Re: Masters in Information Security/Assurance

I am in the process of obtaining my MSIA from Capitol College in
Maryland.  I am now taking my 5th class.  I am taking them on-line.
The classes are limited to 25 students.  We have labs, projects,
presentations by students and, in this class I am taking now, a
debate.

The instructors are GREAT!!  They have made it known that they can be
contacted at home for additional assistance.

I am very happy with the college.  Classes are $505 per hour
