Masters Program

I've been considering obtaining my masters and have found a program titled Computer Resources and Information Management through Websters. Would any of you techies mind reviewing the below link and advise any pros/cons with regard to this program?! (Once w/in the link, scroll down a bit to review the description).

I have an Associates and Bachelors in Business Management and my Paralegal Certificate. I have worked in law firms for about 7 years and 11 years in the military (information management). I applied to a Masters of Library of Science (MLIS) Program, but that program will take 3/4 years attending part time and my GI Bill benefits expire in 2 years. I could complete the Websters program in that time frame. Additionally, the entrance criteria for the MLIS program is very stringent and I do not believe I've been accepted as they keep postponing my "interview" which has now passed beyond the current semester. (Perhaps God is closing this door for another? -- I'm trying to be optimistic!)

Also, I would like to apply for civil service using my veterans preference (which is not a guarantee, but helps). I believe the Webster program would fit in nicely w/ my previous military experience.

Thank you ladies, I appreciate your experience!

MustangGal, first I'd say that if you have a GI Bill benefits package that will pay for further education, use it.

I got downsized out of a government job in 1996, and as part of my severance package, received a sizable re-training allowance. I went back to college for one year, taking very much the same program as is outlined in your link. Mine was only a one-year program, involving an incredible amount of work, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

But my particular one-year program wasn't comprehensive enough, which makes your two-year course much more appealing. I ended up using the rest of my allowance to take a 7-month (full-time) MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) course, which for me ended up being more interesting and valuable in terms of getting a better job afterward. But I couldn't have done so well in my MCSE course without the other program as background.

I don't know if that's much help, but your course outline looks comprehensive. Very managerially-oriented, if that's what you're looking for. I wasn't, and ended up wanting a more hands-on, technical course, because I turned out to be better at taking the computers apart and putting them back together again...which the first program didn't train me for.
