does anybody know of a good university that offers such a degree? I only found info about Ellis College. Does anyone have experience with that school? I have a BS in Info Systems and currently pursuing an MBA. I would like to get a Master's in Physics or Electrical Engineering. To that effect, I figure that I need some heavy undergrad prerequisites. Am I wrong? Should I look directly into the MSEE or MS physics? Thanks for your time.
The list I have (below) includes programs offering undergrad and grad degrees. You'll have to check the program admissions standards but it seems to me that you may not have to earn an entire second BA in order to be seen as eligible for a Physics Masters degree. Acadia U (B) Central Queensland U (B,M,D) Charter Oak State C (B) Excelsior C (B) Georgia Inst Tech (M) Illinois Inst Tech (M) Mary Baldwin C (B) Murdoch U (B) Thomas Edison State C (B) U of Kent (M,D) U of Melbourne (M,D) UNISA (B,M,D) U of Wales-Aberystwyth (M,D) Good luck.

SnafuRacer, I think you´ll find plenty of Universities that offer a MS in Electrical Engineering. But you have to be careful in my opinion.This is a tough subject and prerequisites must be strictly honored. You have to build a lot of mathematics (calculus, algebra, diff. eq. etc..) and physics courses. You should probably evaluate the suitability of your background before venturing into such a difficult ordeal. Perhaps you may want to contact Mr. Richard Kanarek, a member here, who is trying to achieve something similar (if memory serves well). I am sure he´ll explain to you with his peculiar and great sense of humor his experience in this field. Nevertheless Excelsior has an undergraduate program in Physics that may help you get there (if you need to build a more solid background). Take a look at their GRE examinations (if you´re good at that). Good luck!
Thank you very much for your answer. I took an initial look at some of the universities, and some of them are overseas. So is it safe to assume that any coursework or degree obtained at those schools would be transferred here? Thank you for your time
Masters programs in physics and math aren't like many others, where you can enter without undergrad training in the same. An MS in physics is, pretty much, going to require an undergrad in physics. At the very least you'll need two years of college level math: 1 to 1 1/2 years of calculus, plus linear algebra and ODE's. You'll need at least a couple of years of physics courses as well. If you don't have the prereq's, I would look first to the BS in physics.
