Not positive if this would be the correct forums for this, but I've recently started my career as a storage engineer and have fallen in love with the subject. I am thinking of pursuing a master's in the field. Do any of you fine folk know of, or could recommend, any online colleges/universities that are offering graduate degrees in enterprise storage administration?

I've never heard of storage engineering before but good luck with it, it's nice that you enjoy your job.
Maybe you can google it then. -

Storage is a newer area in IT, so I don't know that you will find a program that focuses on that. Look for a program with courses in networking, servers, and visualization.Andy

Apart from the degree, your best bet for a storage career is going to be advanced vendor-specific certs. EMC, for example.
As far as a master's degree, the only thing that really comes to mind is an MSIT with no concentration or something as close to system administration that you can find.WGU Progress: Master of Science - Information Technology Management (Start Date: February 1, 2015)

So I've found one that looks pretty interesting. Datacenter Systems Engineering at Southern Methodist University. Anyone here from that area and have experience with the school or know anyone who has?
