Brandon,

I am in the same boat. Trying to get into this field on a educational
level is difficult. It seems that there are not any great CS graduate
programs that offer information security. I have looked in other
programs as well (such as MBA schools), but I am not sure what I am
going to do either. I would apply to many schools to keep your options
open. I have accquired information from the Stevens Institute as well
but I don't think they are a great program. Let me know what you have
come accross recently becuase it would help me out as well.
