Online Distance Degree

I graduated from management information systems. I want to do a masters and I’m looking for an online program but I am unsure if they accredited and if it is wise to do one. Devry University seems pretty flexible in let me in their IT master program and I think I can afford it. Should I go for it? Will it be recognized? Pros? Cons?

No, you should not go for it. I was in your shoes once as well. I was going to go to DeVry and get a master’s in human resources. For over a year, an enrollment counselor harassed me to enroll. Even when I told her that I wanted to wait, she was still bent on getting me in ASAP and used a lot of dirty tricks in the book to do so. I took their "specialized test" and passed (real schools require GMAT scores to get in). Even if I didn’t pass, they would still admit me.Two days before my first class, I decided to withdraw since I found out from other students how worthless their degree from DeVry was. And even when they I wanted to withdraw, they were still trying to keep me in. I just had to call them yesterday to stop sending me mailers.

If you want a brick and mortar alternative for an MIS degree, try these schools:

Auburn University
Bellevue University
Dallas Baptist University
Stevens Institute of Technology
Florida State University
Hodges University
Minot State University
University of Colorado at Colorado Springs
University of Oregon
Webster University

Good luck!
