New York University
NYU (New York University), while not one of the original old ivy league schools, is a private university most would consider on a par with them. It offers a number of online programs through its School of Continuing Studies, including certificates and full master of science degrees (including an MBA) in business. There is also an M.S. in Management and Systems, a rather interesting combination of business and technology study, and a six-course, 18 credit graduate certificate program in Information Technologies. The M.S. and certificate programs are offered at a flat rate of about $16,000 each, and student financing can be obtained based on either academic merit or need.
