I'm not sure if they have a communications technology program, but they have
a great distance education program. I chose them because they are
accredited by a real body, and not some upper Wisconsin disted accrediting
services and dry cleaning company like so many of the online degree
programs! :-)

I'm starting this Fall! I'm going for the Business Degree though. I think
my CCIE covers me on the technical side and if I want to move up the
corporate ladder an MBA will help me the most! I can't think of too many
CEO's with only a CCIE # and not a MBA! hehe.

In today's day and age of companies actually looking for Upper Management
that has a clue about what they are managing, I feel a CCIE and an MBA would
put someone in perfect position to compete for top IT spots in some major
companies! just my $.02

Excellent thread. I've also been interested in following up my CCIE
campaign with graduate school. Does anyone know of a school that has a
graduate degree in communication technology or whatever it is we do? I'm
especially interested in distance learning programs. Thanks!

If you apply to most tier 2 schools and below they will evaluate your work
record and give you some credits. I doubt you will find something that says
CCIE = x number of credits. However, if you go to a school that is
considered upper echelon they will laugh at you. I know when I transferred
to UC Berkeley they laughed at some of the work credits my previous school
had given me.
