But my dad is an admissions rep there. I was going to go there for network administration. but found out through him and the proffesser that teaches the networking stuff there. To take it through NDSCS at the skills center. You have to add a few classes to the program they have set up(math and english) to get an aas degree out of it.

I looked at MSCTC and aakers. Aakers was a little more expensive but the way they have the classes and things set up seems like it would work better for me. A friend of mine completed the same course and from his experience it fully prepares you for A+, Cisco, MCP, MCSE, and other certifications. From what he said it's a pretty difficult course and is nothing like a 'i want to learn about computers' type thing. I'm pretty pumped about it. Also, when I tried to get with someone from MSCTC they were as helpfull as a stick of butter in the desert. I understand that they are a bigger school, but they could at least make it seem like they give a shit whether you go there or not. my .02

Basically the college you get the degree from tells them how easy you learn difficult material (Havard material is more difficult than NDSU which is more difficult than MSCTC and so on).

I went to MSCTC-Fergus Falls and transferred to NDSU after I got my AA, and it's something i'd recommend for other's to do. Just make sure you take all the right classes for the first 2 years of generals...I had a problem with not having all the right classes when I transferred.

I was going to say that last night, but I was feeling lazy. That is very true though.

[QUOTE=amicheze;180299]Same here. Plus I heard it was overpriced and you couldn't transfer most credits to a larger school.

I think they may be close to having that taken care of so that you can.

I went to MSCTC and it was alright. Everything transferred to MSUM. Cost will be less, but maybe aakers has a better program since it is more of a business school.

Bad because tuition costs are a little higher than NDSU and MSUM. I like it so far though, Ive been at Aakers since January. Its a pretty good school.
