    Has anyone here had any experience with the University of Denver's University College? I am particuularly interested in the online MAS In Computer Information Systems, Distributed Object-Oriented Analysis & Design program, but I'd like to hear any input on the school itself. The price seems right, the accreditation is in place and the programs seem quite useful. This doesn't look like a "gimme" program at all.

    A big question I know I have is: What is the difference, in practice, between an M.S. and an M.A.S.? Will a Masters of Applied Science become a stopping point for me somewhere down the road?

    Thanks,

    Sean

    Graduate studies without a Bachelors...

    One interesting thing I have learned about this program is that I can start grad school before I finish my B.S. Technically, I wouldn't be enrolled in the program, but I could take the courses and apply them toward a certificate. Once I finish my B.S., I could be accepted into the M.A.S. program and have all of the courses I've taken apply to my Masters degree. That would trim off some time from the overall process and let me do my B.S. and M.A.S. quicker. It would also give me something of substance to do while I'm coasting through the B.S. program at Bellevue. That's pretty interesting to me.

    Can you use the certificate courses to satisfy B.S. credits?

    The people on the phone told me that the courses are R.A. graduate courses, and transferability is up to the receiving institution. I guess you would need to ask your undergraduate school.

    I meant for you...if there are any 300-400 level credits on the certificate you may be able to use them for BS credit.


    Just a thought

    Oh, I see. Actually, my program at Bellevue is locked in pretty tight. It's cohort based and there isn't any wiggle room. You order the full meal deal and pretty much do "get fries with that". I know what I'll be taking for the next eight months with no deviations.

    Good thought though.
