The only reason I even looked into Excelsior at the time was because of exactly what you said below, though in my case it was the fact that they took IT Certifications for College Credit. What amazes me is that there are also some graduate programs that will take certifications for college credit. My one MCSE could count for not only many undergrad credits but as much as half of a graduate degree (25% of a degree at http://www.aspen.edu 50% of a degree at http://www.itmasters.com.au)
Whoa.
Rob, I had NO idea you could get a masters with IT cert. I have my MCSD.NET among others and I just sent in a request for more information from them. That just blows me away! Thanks for the info.
I'm just kinda thinking out loud here (figuratively) but I wonder how much weight an Austrialian masters degree carries?
