University for Information Technology?

[shamin]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a reputable University that offers Information Technolgy Degree.

Since I am an international student I look forward for a strong brand which will make it easy for the degree to get accredited in my home country. I also prefer a university that I can join in campus for Masters.

I was thinking about Liberty but don't want to take the religious subjects. Can someone please recommend a good Univ which is also generous in accepting credits.

PS: WGU is not taking international students atm.

Thankyou

You're not going to get a strong brand and cheap/flexible. Liberty doesn't have a strong brand. It's a mid-tier college that's a bit controversial. If you're interested in computer science, University of London is offering a bachelor's through Coursera. The total price for the degree is pretty good.

Northern Arizona University offers a computer information technology degree in a competency-based, self-paced format that is similar to WGU's. They aren't a "strong brand," but they are a public university that isn't controversial.

I don't know which country you're from, but countries usually don't care about the prestige of the school when it comes to acceptance. They only care about accreditation. As long as the school is regionally accredited, you should be fine.

Another option is University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. They offer a competency-based degree in information science and technology.

I agree with sanantone; you can't have both a strong brand and a school that takes unlimited credit. Instead, I'd look at price, and how quickly you can finish a degree. I'd also think about the graduate degree, and think about spending your money there instead of the bachelor's degree (another reason to go with an inexpensive school).

No offense but Liberty is not reputable.. at all.

It is from what I've heard.  I guess it depends on what you're looking for.

Thank you for feedbacks. University of London on Courser and University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee seems nice.

Any more suggestions? I am willing to take upto 50% courses from University.

I don't see why TESU shouldn't be in the running for this. It's a regionally accredited state university, so there should be no problem with it being recognized by a foreign country.

There's no on campus masters program to join, but that shouldn't be a showstopper.

you have no idea what you're talking about

It depends on what you study at Liberty. I wouldn't get a life science degree from there. Their stance on creation science makes biologists flip out.

I was just informed by the University of Wisconsin that they aren't taking international students atm. phew!
