I'm in a MS program through National Technological University.  This school
is  aimed  at  working professionals, is offered by satellite, and students
must be employed by a member [sponsor] corporation.  Check with  your  Site
Training  Office  to  see  if your corporation is involved.  Intel and BiiN
are, and the promotional list of *major*  subscribers  (that  I  was  given
about  3  years  ago)  includes DEC, Kodak, GE, GTE Spacenet, HP, IBM, NCR,
Tektronix, AT&T Technologies, ALCOA, General Dynamics, General Instruments,
Honeywell, Magnavox, RCA, and Sandia National Labs.

Classes are provided by host schools across the country.  I've had material
from  University  of  Massachusetts  (Amherst),  University  of  Minnesota,
Colorado State, and University of Idaho.  I'm currently taking SE-710S from
UofI,  Professor  William Junk presiding.  This is an excellent overview of
system analysis, software design, and other  Software  Engineering  issues,
with some exposure to CASE.

There is no MS/SE program, but the Computer Science degree with emphasis on
Computer Software considers the SE course essential (a "core" course).

NTU is a bit expensive, but I bet most corporate sponsors have a reimburse-
ment program.  That sure helps take the bite out of my schooling.  Check it
out!
