University's offering on-line masters program?

Question

Hi,

I am a software engineer by profession, I have been planning to take up the M.S program offered by bits-pillani since quite sometime but due to the traveling nature of my job, I have been unable to do so!!

Can anybody suggest some good on-line masters program from a good reputed university?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Your best bet is to look for online Masters degree programs provided by non-online schools.  I write this because online degrees (like from U of Phoenix, Capella, and so on) have a bad reputation.

Here are your best options:

1) Drexel University has an online Masters degree program in Software Engineering: http://www.drexel.com/online-degrees/eng... .

They also have programs in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Management, and a Graduate Certificate in Engineering Management.

2) DePaul University has an online Masters in Software Engineering as well: http://www.cdm.depaul.edu/academics/Page... .  You could also choose a Masters degree from them in Computer Science, Computer, Information and Network Security, E-Commerce Technology, Information Systems,

Information Technology, Instructional Technology Systems, or

Telecommunication Systems .

3)  California State University, Fullerton campus, offers the degree you want: http://www.fullerton.edu/ECS/mse/

4)  And finally, Regis University has your degree online as well: http://www.regisuniversityonline.org/gra...

I repeat, stay away from Masters programs from online-only universities.  Many companies don't respect them as much as they will the four I have mentioned above.
