I know ISU also has an Information Assurance certificate. Basically this consists of something like 4 graduate level courses that can be taken remote. After passing, you can get the certificate. This can then be carried over into the grad program in IA or just kept alone. It's not a Master's, but can still be a useful goal. Otherwise, I think they really prefer people to be physically able to attend some classes. <- snip -> I know with Dakota State University's MSIA program it does not make a difference if you are on campus or not as when the instructors deliver lectures the students have 3 options; they can be in the classroom, they can be in a remote classroom via videoconferencing, or they can watch the lecture online at their convenience. All students get the same assignments and lectures, the only negative of being an online student is having to call or e-mail when you have questions. In order to assist with that the instructors moderate message boards for all students and require them to contribute. They also facilitate group projects between distance and conventional students. Labs are setup to be done remotely as well. I would be surprised if Iowa State does not deliver their MSIA program in a similar fashion. -Brandon
