3- DePaul University
MS - Computer Information and Network Security - DePaul

4- Lewis University

I'd go to whichever one I could get into for free or almost free.

Assuming they are all equally free, how would you rate them?

There is no room for suggestion of anything else?

Do a search for master's degrees here, there is an extensive thread somewhere that has quite a bit of information, but it may not be the information you are looking for... for example, I have never heard of 3 of the schools you have listed, so I can't tell you anything useful about their programs. You also might try geteducated.com for reviews.

If price is no object I would go to either George Mason or Northeastern. While the top 4 are CAE certified GW and NE are CAE-R also. Marymount isn't NSA certified so I wouldn't look at it. NSA-CAE certified doesn't mean much unless you go into higher end government or large Corp jobs but it does mean the coursework will teach you what you should know. Personally I'm hoping WGU gets theirs before I graduate but if not I'm looking at N.C. State online.

I'm in the Capitol College MSIA program right now. So far it's been a very solid experience.

MrAgent

Is the GMU program entirely online?

I can't do online or distance learning programs. But Thanks!

So far, I have applied to:

1. DePaul University (Chicago) - M.S Computer, Information and Network Security- Accepted
2. Northeastern University (Boston) - M.S Information Assurance - Accepted
3. George Mason University (Fairfax, Virginia) - M.S Information Security and Assurance - Waiting for over 6 weeks. It sucks I know!
4. Lewis University (Around Chigago) - M.S Information Security - I kinda turned this down, for some reason I don't think it is a good school or at least better than DePaul-

I'm a little confused now to choose one school between DePaul, Northeastern or George Mason. Any input?

I don't think so.

Any reason that Capella University's MSIT in Information Assurance and Security is not included on this list?
