Re: Norwich MSIA

["R.E.Willet" <rewillet () verizon net>]

Jon, I was wondering if you received any job offers during or after earning 
the degree. Also, could you elaborate on the quality of the MS-IA program at 
Iowa State?

I've been researching several MS-IA programs taught at several universities 
in Virginia. Does anyone on this list have experience with the program at 
George Washington, James Madison or George Mason University? I believe the 
JMU program is on-line whereas the other two are classroom programs.

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.

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?
