Re: A degree in MSIA - the various programs

[Samuel Waters <srw () cs rit edu>]

I'm rather late to this discussion, but I wanted to mention my own 
school, Rochester Institute of Technology, which I believe has a pretty 
complete and thorough program.  I'm sure I'm a bit biased, as I both 
work here and am finishing up the CSIA grad program.  However, I'm in 
the middle of CISSP boot camp (literally, I'm on break), and I've been 
amazed at how much of the material is already well known from my course 
work.  Other than needing some review to have it memorized, I haven't 
come across anything new, which is something of a relief.   I believe 
the program is also entirely online, which is helpful.

If you'd like to take a look, the website for the program is
