ECU’s computer science master’s a “best buy”

ECU’s online master’s of science program in Computer Science and Technology Systems was named a “best buy” from an organization that evaluates online degree programs.

GetEducated.com, which serves as a clearinghouse to showcase and evaluate accredited online degrees, employs college experts to review each online program. In 2007, ECU’s online MBA and education degrees ranked one and three, respectively.
