    Specifically, I am looking at their Cybersec Masters...<br /> <br /> Online Cybersecurity Masters

    I was looking at UCF's Masters in Digital Forensics, but alas they only allow US citizens to get the Masters Degree <cringe> ... so I am exploring other options. If anyone has any other thoughts re a Masters in Digital Forensics / Cyber Forensics, that are affordable and come from a reputable institution, please let me know!

    Cheers!

    It has ACICS, so that is not great; I would take a DETC school over them.
    I called just ask how much they cost because they had no information on their site. They were hyper aggressive and I talked to 3 people before they would even tell me how much they cost. They cost $561 per credit hour, it takes 56q hours. That costs over $31,000. They also charge a $50 tech fee per a course, a semester enrollment fee…etc.. etc… I cannot comment on the quality of their programs just the price. You can get a MBA from Aspen for $3,600.

    LOL I never went that far - thought I'd inquire about reputation first :) Thanks for your trouble, and their cost is outrageous...<br /> <br /> While an MBA in Leadership is in my plans, a Masters in Digital Forensics is in my immediate future - Spring of 2011 :)

    If I wanted to spend $30k, I'd go with Penn State's"information security and forensics option"

    I talked to them a few years ago and had a similar problem. They asked me several questions and went into their sales pitch. I told them we had nothing to talk about until they gave me the numbers. :cool:
