What's a good distance-learning MSEE program for Power?

What's a good distance-learning MSEE program for Power?

(OP)

Could someone recommend a good distance learning program by a well known accredited university in the US for a Master's Degree in Electrical Power? Classes are sent via web or DVD, etc. I've looked at Kansas State University's and the University of South Florida's? Have you heard any comments about either program? Good comments about any other? I'm trying to choose a good university and program and would appreciate your feedback.

PE56, this is my personal opinion & others may disagree, but I believe that one of the best is through the University of Idaho. They have an engineering outreach program that will allow you to get your MSEE in power without ever stepping foot on campus. I have completed 15-hours thus far & I live on the other side of the U.S.

SEL/Schweitzer is in their back-yard (per say) so you get a lot of guest speakers in classes that are actually doing power engineering jobs.

Wherever you decide to go, good luck!

When I went through my power courses in grad school a few years ago, I often referred to the material on course web pages by Dr. Bruce Mork at Michigan Tech University. It turns out they offer an online MSEE. I would recommend checking it out. Here's a link:

RE: What's a good distance-learning MSEE program for Power?

I'll second the U of I recommendation.  Just finished my MEEE (Master of Engineering, Electrical Engineering) concentrating on Power System Protection.  The ME is a non-thesis degree (30 semester credit units) while the MS is a thesis degree (24 semester credit units plus 6 or more units of thesis preparation).  Trying to earn the degree while working full time it is best to take the ME path rather than the MS path.  One course per term means a 5 year program; again about the maximum load you'd want to take on while working full time.

davidbeach, Congrats on the MEEE! I agree 1 class/semester + full time job = very busy engineer (plus my son was 2 months old when ECE504-AP started) = very tired daddy! LOL!
