[TriLUG] OT: Local Masters programs...

[Chris Bullock]

I just started the masters program (Digital 
Communications) at ECU this semester, there are 3 maybe 4 
concentrations in the program.  "www.sit.ecu.edu". It is 
very much windows based, they want CCNA's but I am not and 
I am in the non-degree aspect of the curriculum now, they 
offer a non-degree certification in which I have talked to 
people in the department and instead of paying graduate 
cost I will pay "continuing education" fees until I have 
to pay graduate costs at that point they should just let 
me in without having to take the GRE or GMAT,  I know you 
specified local but all of these courses are online, 
Currently we have people in Cali taking the courses.  This 
may not be for you if you are a die hard linux user 
because this program stresses Windows and windows based 
software.  That is my $.02, you can form your own opinion.  
Do not let the prerequisits scare you, If you notice they 
want people with broadband Internet NOT behind a firewall. 
 
my $.02
