Very cool! Now, I just hope that their Tech. Communications program is as good as their Engineering program.

This is why I wanted to post that question here, and hear comments from you guys. My informal research around here has not returned many results, but that may be related to geography?

I am gonna have to contact them, and get some mor information.

I agree, RPI is a great school -- almost went there!

You'll get a great education Juan!

RPI is one of the premier engineering school in the US. I have a lot of friends who got their undergraduate degrees there and were happy they went there. They would have preferred that the school was somewhere else but Troy though...

Meh - that girly-man team? (OK I'm biased -- I went to Clarkson - one of their Div 1 rivals, for those that don't know )

Thanks for all the feedback, guys. I am starting to feel a little better about applying there. The campus location is not that big of a deal to me because this would be a distance learning degree. I just want to ensure that the Master's degree I get (which will cost me a ton, as all of you know) is from a respected, well-known university.

Again, thanks. If anyone has any other thoughts or comments, I would greatly appreciate it.

Jeff, by the way, welcome back. Glad to hear you had a relaxing and "unconnected" weekends. It's nice to have one of those every once in a while.

Hey, I graduated from RPI. what do you want to know? I may be able to give you a bit of info.

Well, like I said, I am looking into their online MS degree in Technical Communications. In all honesty, I had "peripherally" heard of RPI, but did not know much about it. I just want to hear comments, suggestions AND/OR opinions (if you've attended) of the school. In other words, ANY information that anyone may have about the school would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to PM me or email me.

Thanks a bunch! You guys are the best!

If you hung a sheepskin from RPI on your wall anywhere in the N. East US you'ld be immediately regarded as a well educated individual. Get a hold of the undergrad review books with the SAT requirements to get into RPI, you'll see that they are very exclusive. When I got out of HS I had a pretty damn good "resume" but I got wait listed at RPI but got into Syracuse, Cornell, Brown and Binghamton... That should tell you something about RPI.

Wow...! Yeah, and that's one of my "issues." The people whom I asked and said they had heard of RPI were mostly from the Northeast. When I ask "locals" (I am in Charlotte, NC), I get shrugs. Due to my wife's career, my moving to any other location is VERY unlikely; this is why having a degree from an university that is "known" is important to me.

My brother in-law went to RPI. It is one of the top engineering schools in the Northeast. Perhaps people down south don't know about it, but it is very prestigious and well-known in the mid-Atlantic and New England regions.
