Re: Graduate programs for Infosec

["Allison, Ian" <Ian.C.Allison () am sony com>]

Aaron,

Like Russell said, your biggest challenge will be to find a college that will accept a degree from ITT. What ITT does 
not tell you is that they are only nationally accredited and not regionally accredited. Regional accreditation is what 
almost every state brick and mortar schools have. There is a good chance Oklahoma State does not have national 
accreditation. That means your credits and degree will not transfer over. Your challenge will be to find a school that 
has both National and Regional accreditation. That way you can get your Masters degree from a regionally accredited 
school. The good news is that there are a few schools with both accreditations out there that have good Infosec 
programs. I would look for one that has NSA School of Academic Excellence in Information Security accreditation. You 
can get the list of schools from the NSA web site and then work backwards from there. Having been in your shoes before 
I know what a pain this can be. If you have any more questions you can email me directly and I would be happy to help 
point you in the right direction.

Good Luck,

Ian

Subject: [Pauldotcom] Graduate programs for Infosec

Hey guys,

I currently have a Bachelor's degree in "Information Systems Security" from ITT Tech. I'm looking for a good Master's 
program that's at a university, so I can pay with student loans. I live in OK, so I'm looking at schools around this 
area that aren't going to cost an arm and a leg, but I need it to be a reputable school. Not saying that ITT wasn't a 
decent choice for me, but I have heard that people actually kinda scoff at it.  I'm looking at Oklahoma State because I 
heard they have a decent InfoSec program, but I'm not sure if they're the right choice. Any feedback would be greatly 
appreciated. Thanks guys!

Aaron
