Might as well be diploma mill
I just completed the Master's in Information Technology. It's a 13 month accelerated program and I completed it easily, with very little effort. Granted, I have been in the IT field for 10 years, but I expected to actually learn something new. I can safely say that the only thing I learned was the way DES works, and for that I paid $30k. Even worse, there were quite a few students in my class that really had no business being there. They got almost every discussion question wrong and by the last class one of them still did not understand what a Trojan Horse was. They all graduated, however, which means they had to have gotten at least a B in all classes.
Basically, if you're already in the field and you want to pay $30k to have a master's very quickly, it might be worth it. If you actually want to learn something, go somewhere else. This program will not even prepare you for an entry level help desk job.
Also, they are accredited, but on probation for the 2nd year. The probation expires in December. If they do not pass, they lose accreditation.
