The course I was looking at seems to be more concentrated at Devry. Most all of the electives I've taken transfer and those that have not still seem geared toward MIS. I've worked in the field a couple of years and, as in any field, will probably learn more working in the field for a month than I would in 2 years at college. My main concern is not how challenged I will be in classes but how credible a degree from DeVry really is.

I've seen hiring managers almost laugh at degrees from online courses, such as University of Phoenix. I've been recommended to stay away from those types of colleges. However, I like the idea of knocking out the remaining electives and finishing a masters degree in less than 3 years. Does anyone know how credible a technical degree from Devry is? How does it compare to ITT Tech?

Three threads for the same question!?
