Program Review - Missouri State University

[Duneranger]

I just finished a graduate program at Missouri State and thought I would post a quick review. The program I did was in National Security thought the MSU department of Defense and Strategic Studies (DSS). DSS is geographically separate from MSU and I located in Fairfax VA. My understanding is MSU simply took over the program from another college some years back.
The program offers a graduate certificate, and a MSc with either a general focus or a focus in Weapons of Mass Destruction. The college has a deal with the military, so that officers specializing in CBRNE can take classes here at a discount as part of a requirement for promotion to 0-3/0-4.
There is also a general focus professional Doctorate. All courses can be done in person in VA or online. The General focus at any level can be completed asynchronously online, but the WMD courses require logging in at set times.
Many of the staff are current or former generals and admirals with a relationship to either STRATCOM/Norad, or government SES supergrades with a relationship to the military and State Department. Some of my professors included a current Air Force General, a retired Navy submarine commander, a DIA intelligence officer and a former UN employee that worked as a supervisor of the teams that inspected the Russian ICBMs as part of SALT. 
Overall the program was affordable and interesting if you like policy or defense matters. The people serving as professors impressed the hell out of me, given their resumes.

I knew a couple of chem Os who did this. Seems like an interesting degree tbh. It makes sense it attracts mil types since Fort Leonard Wood is where the CBRNE school for the Army is.

People here will complain about the cost though, its 20k and when people have their tuition increase by 200 bucks a term or a degree is over 5k, people act like the world is ending.
