To career IT professionals looking to enhance their professional aptitude back then, getting an IT Masters Degree is a sure way to do so. The problem was they had to divide their time between their professional obligations as well as their time going back and forth from their place of work to the university. This has no doubt been very time consuming and energy draining. At the end of the day, the IT professional has swollen eye bags, loses weight and ends up not being able to focus on either his work or his studies.
The Online Advantage of Boston University's Online Program
A well known University recognizes this problem very well and offers a solution to mitigate this problem. Boston University offers online courses which are similar in form and function to the courses being offered on their campus. Previously, online courses by other lesser known "online colleges" were limited to technical degrees which have very little if no academic weight at all. The fact that no real, brick and mortar university backs them does not give these courses much weight and acceptability. But with the entry of Boston University, students can now say to prospective employers that a real university backs them and vouches for their credibility.
Compared with similar online programs from notable universities like Columbia, North Western, Stanford and Carnegie Mellon, Boston University's program offers the most value by ensuring that they have the lowest tuition. The tuition fees of the aforementioned universities are as follows: $35,160, $45,606, $58,950, and $56,160. Compare that with Boston University's which is only $30,840 excluding the registration fee and you have an across the board low tuition rate that has yet to be beaten.
Like in most other educational institutions, the possibility of acquiring grants, scholarships and student loans are also available at the disposal of the student. You need only apply and possess the requirements mandated by institutions which provide this in order to get these financial benefits. Needless to say, that if you are an IT professional who is seeking a Degree in Information Technology, getting one of these is much easier with the help of the company you are working for.
Superb Resources
It is an understatement to say that Boston University offers the most value per dollar spent on tuition when compared to other online academic institutions. Yet despite this competitive rate, it manages to acquire in its faculty some of the best minds in the world of IT. Dr. Eric J. Braude specializes in artificial intelligence, software design and information security. He has three MS degrees and one PhD, making him one of the most capable professors in Boston University.
Another notable faculty hails all the way from India, Dr. Suresh Kalathur. Possessing an MS, an MA and a PhD from Brandeis University, Dr. Suresh is a highly capable individual who has extensive experience including in the US Air Force where he designed software systems. He specializes in data mining, Java programming and grid computing.
Boston University's online program was meant for professional excellence in cutting edge technologies. One can say that it's perfect for the discerning individual who wishes to take his career to the next level.
