1. What grad degree are you pursuing/planning to pursue?
I am currently pursuing an MS in MIS at the University of Illinois at Springfield.
2. Why are you pursuing a grad degree? How will it benefit you personally or professionally?
I am doing a grad degree both because I've always wanted to and because I feel like it will help me achieve my professional goals.
3. Why did you choose this particular school to attend (or groups of schools to apply to)? You can leave out the school name(s) if you prefer privacy, I'm more curious about the "why" part.
For my grad degree I was looking for an accredited B&M state university with an on-line presence and UIS met all of these criteria. They're regionally and AACSB acredited and offer close to in-state tuition rates for on-line only students. They also offer several options for completing the program including a capstone, thesis, or project. They offer classes 3 times a year and I should be able to complete my degree by May 2011 provided that life doesn't get in the way.
