Regis University

I found the MSCIT program to be a great value for my money. Many of the teachers have worked or are currently working in the IT field and have a great deal of practical experience. Some of the database related courses were very challenging and I am using what I learned in them on the job today. Halfway though the program I changed my focus from systems engineering to database technologies because of a job opening at my company. I talked to my advisor and was able to make the change without much difficulty. One complaint is that some of the courses I wanted to take weren't available often enough, such as the database tuning course. Also, trying to get in contact with your advisor can be difficult sometimes. All things considered, I would recommend the MSCIT program.

Since this school has brick and mortar roots and holds Christian ethics up to be valued and practiced, I found the IT program a solid value. More plainly said, if you are an honest student who is willing to work/participate in your own education, a person who cherishes excellence, you can get a lot out of the M.Sci. program. You need to do the assignments and seek help when struggling. Just as you can hide in a real classroom you can do so online. You can copy the work of others just like real-world students... in short, your education and perception of Regis is a reflection on your own character and ambition. I witnessed students that just wanted to "get by" and punch a ticket at Regis, but I also saw those same types on campus at state colleges. At the time I attended (2001-2003) there was no interactive technology like Live Meeting. I am in the industry 30 years and web casting and interactive (shared desktop over internet) meetings and demos occur everyday. I complained about the lack of this sort of technology and the lack of simple teleconference bridges for key class "lectures" or discussion. I don't know if Regis has sought to take the lead in application of technology to online education. If they did I'm sure today's student value it. If not, I'd look for a school that teaches IT using the latest IT. Yes. What I studied I used in industry.
