The programs at minot state are not wretched. I enjoyed several of my professors - they shared their experiences in the field without sugar coating things. Others were lazy, recycling lesson plans from decades past and dodging class like they were a freshman student. Outside of the classroom, this university is difficult to work with.

I'm a busy Dad that found the MSIS program to be a challenging but pleasant experience. I was able to frame a lot of my class projects around solving real business problems going on in my workplace! Not to mention it is accredited, brick and mortar, and inexpensive! I recommend MSU! I've done a lot of research based on similar graduate degrees and would do it again. I am weeks away...
