I am looking for a Master's Certificate program in either IT Project Management or general Project Management. So far I have only looked at ESI, which seems to have a good selection.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Saving Changes...
BTW online program highly preferred. Thanks. Saving Changes...

I just finished the classroom IT Project Management Master's Certificate thorough ESI/George Washington University in Washington, D.C. I was impressed by the course work and instructors, most of them had decades of experience and a few own their own PM consulting firms, etc. This is an intensive course with 7 week long classes. Not sure about the on-line training but I definitely recommend ESI. Saving Changes...

Eugene,
Stanford has wonderful program SAPM. That is purely advanced project management and it is extremely good. It is widely accepted in all top bay area companies like Cisco, Sun, HP, and Oracle and on. If you are not looking at that kind of program, describe more about your requirements.
I agree with Aditya that Standford has an excellent program. However, in my opinion, it's really geared for executive management types. Not Project Managers that actually get down in the trenches and are responsible for managing projects and programs.
For that type of program, I strongly recommend ESI. I searched high and low when I started and found ESI is the best. As the other posters mentioned, the trainers are very experienced (they've been in the trenches and walked the walk), the course work is top notch and can be applied immediately. You can also apply the coursework to a Masters Degree at George Washington University.
While they do offer some classs online, I think you are required to take the first and last in person. Same thing for the Degree option at GW. Your initial class is on campus and your capstone is on campus, the rest can be done online.
