MS in Information Technology

"Feeling connected with the faculty is an important part of my satisfaction with an online program. I’ve really enjoyed interacting with the professors and fellow students, sharing the excitement and interest in various topics – particularly those that I have some practical work experience with. The discussion boards are a great tool for information sharing."
