Hey my dorm room buddy - can you keep a secret?
Well it seems like CSU can - but now the cat’s out of the bag. And that’s a good thing.
Colorado State University’s graduate engineering distance degrees offered through the Division of Continuing Education have been ranked a “Best Buy” by GetEducated.com.
OK, so what does that mean?
Well, it means that this online degree program has been reviewed and judged to offer a high quality distance degree to a national audience at tuition rates well below the national average.
If you’re looking into distance programs ratings like this are what you should be looking for. Takes some of the quesswork out of it. 
The online degree clearinghouse reviewed 46 schools offering 216 distance-learning engineering and allied graduate degree programs offered through regionally accredited universities throughout the nation. Colorado State’s master of science degrees in Civil Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Engineering Management, Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, Mechanical Engineering Materials Engineering and Statistics programs ranked 18th in GetEducated.com’s list of the top high-quality, low-cost programs.
The survey found that the average cost for distance learners seeking a master’s in engineering or an allied technology career is $23,203. Colorado State’s is significantly lower at $15,600.
And with the shortage of engineers in the United States, if you invest now in online higher education you could insure job security - a very good thing in these challenging economic times.

I saw an interesting stat the other day that said higher wages and job security are prompting more
men to enter the field of nursing.
Which I guess means there’s less men entered the Engineering field? I mean, there are just so many men
to go around, right?
Anyway, according to a Vanderbilt University School of Nursing study, the number of male nurses in
our great nation has almost doubled since the 1980s. Men now represent 9 % of the nations nurses. and
that’s up from 5% in the 1980s.
And just as impressive is that fact that the public’s perception of nursing is getting much better.
A recent Gallup Poll even ranked nursing as the most trusted profession, above teachers, military officers and even doctors.
Wow…
Now for the bad news…sort of.
You may not know it, but there’s a nationwide nursing shortage and it could become a health-care crisis.
According to the Vanderbilt study, although there are 1.8 million nurses today, there could be a shortage of 800,000 nurses by 2020.
And our colleges and universities haven’t been gearing up to address this yet.
According to an enrollment survey by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, more
than 26,000 qualified applicants were turned away from undergraduate programs last year due in
large part to faculty shortages.
In my next post, I’ll explain who some companies and colleges are trying to make headway on this, and,
as in the Loard of the Rings - “they’ve placed their hope on Men”
:-)

Interested in the highly specialized field of Aerospace Engineering?
Here are a few of the colleges that offer online Masters degrees in Aerospace Engineering, starting with the newest program: Georgia Tech
The GT School of Aerospace Engineering currently offers two different master of science (MS) degrees.
The first is the “Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering” degree and is generally referred to as a “designated degree.”
The second is the “Master of Science” degree which is referred to as an “undesignated degree.”
What’s the difference between “designated” and “undesignated”?
Well, according to their website, the designated degree requires that you must have completed all academic course work which is required for a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering degree.
Here’s the list of other schools that offer a Master’s degree in the Aerospace Engineering field (or in that general area):
Illinois Institute of Technology
