My personal opinion but I consider many private technical schools a poor
choice for technical education. I have visited a few private technical
colleges
and noted the tuition costs to be far to high and/or the acceptance
criteria
far to low. All the ones I have visited I would not recommend to anyone
from high school, unless maybe your planing to transfer out of that school
soon
or you're taking specific courses from there. If continued education is
what
you're looking for then some of those schools did offer appealing course
descriptions for their continued education courses.
Because Information Systems Security/information security is an interest of
yours you could start your research by googling NSA schools of excellence.
http://www.nsa.gov/ia/academia/caeiae.cfm Within there are listings of
schools the NSA recognizes for their information security programs/curricula.
This would be a good starting point because many of the school listed therein
are already well recognized names:
Carnegie Mellon University (CERT), Florida State, Stanford, Georgia Tech,
Perdue, etc. But don't forget to review the NSA criteria for measurement
for
any bias. Remember this is just a starting point, you should not limited
your
selection to the schools listed therein.
A website that I frequent _www.certcities.com_ (http://www.certcities.com/)
has many members that posting questions related to your topic *hint*.
Good look!
