I want to earn a degree in Information Systems and in Network Security, which online school would be the best?

Unfortunately, online classes are my only option, so I need to know what school will look best on my resume? I am currently looking into ITT Technical Institute, out of Indiana, and Kaplan and Westwood University? But is there a school that an interviewer would look at and say “Wow, this guy should know his stuff, because he went to “fill in the blank”!

The fast food tech schools have more credibility now than they used to. If you use some place like Kaplan, can you earn a more traditional degree.. ya know, where you have to take other courses to pass as well?
People aren’t really going to jump up and say “wow” until you have a few years of experience to go with it. In some areas 4 years of hands-on experience will outweigh a college degree. Knowing the textbook side can help get you in the door but any experience (even phone support) can make a difference.
Look at their stats and see how many people actually end up in the profession they want. Don’t be fooled by “90% of our graduates have jobs in 6 months” because sometimes that really means they’re working at Burger King.
NONE of your list.

You will just have a school loan debt.

NO transferable credits, no credibility.
