I am from the Norfolk, Virginia area and have two full-time minimum wage jobs so I know that Online Learning is for me. How good is ITT Tech? I want to take up Network/Internet Security and I only know two campuses that offer it in my area -- ECPI and ITT Tech -- with the latter being my choice since it's being offered online AND I will be getting a degree (Bachelor of Science degree in Information Systems Security). Also, how much of a disadvantage am I if I take this particular course online as opposed to taking it in a traditional classroom (I'm talking about differences in lab exercises, how much will I learn, coursework and the like)? I plan to enroll within the next semester (about 2-3 weeks time) so any info/insight/feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Every location can have good and bad instructors. They'll take you money - no problem. If you decide to try to transfer the credits to a reputable four-year school - big problem. I'd suggest trying to find a RA CCthat will work with you. If you are in the military, I can help you out.
I checked out both schools and I have couple observation for you consider ITT tech -nationally accredited (not very good) -curicculum seems very recent and als includes classes on cryptology and fornesics -models there classes around employer needs -jobplace ment assistance -easy to navigate the websit to find out coarse informtion - established alumni -will not be able to attend graduate level coarse at A regionally accredited university and you will have to try and find a nationally accredited university that has a masters degree in the field that you are pursuing (good luck with that!) -expensive but not unreasonable ECPI College of Technology -regionally accredited (top of the food chain) - established alumni -poorly designed website hard to find out any information about course with out filling out information for some rep to call you or send you sometihing in the mail -will be able to attend graduate level coarse at A regionally accredited university -price not list on web site but I imagine it is expenisive (that why its not listed) I guess it depends on your plans for the future I have actually heard some bad things about Itt land campuses in diffrent areas www.studentsreview.com but I have heard notthing Imena nothing at all about ECPI that may not be a good thing either but I do know no matter what anyone says a regionally accredited degree is more respected than a nationally accredited even if you fell right now that you do not ever attend a graduate school it would be good to know if you did more than likely you will not have to retake alot of classes if you do . That my 2 cents hope it helps Good Luck!!
Thank you for your reply! Yes, your reply and this board certainly helped me choose which school I should go to. I have narrowed it down to two and I wouldn't be surprised if I decide to go to both of them AT THE SAME TIME: ECPI College of Technology for their Network/Internet Security program; and, University of Maryland - University College for their Management in Information Systems program I would certainly enroll at ECPI but I'm having second thoughts now about the not-so-good review about UMUC. If only I could find another regionally accredited school that offers Management in Information Systems...
