I am a full time Boeing engineer and am interested in obtaining a masters degree in astronautics and aeronautics. My company will pay for the education, and I can go to most any major school as long as they have a distance program.

Both Purdue University and Stanford University offer an astronautics and aeronautics degree via distance learning. Any opinions on which of the two would be better for me to attend?

I am leaning toward Stanford because I believe it is more prestigous and because the chance of having instructors with thick Indian accents may be less likely at Stanford than Purdue.

But what are your thoughts?

(I work in the flight test engineering group, so I think this degree will directly benefit me with my work.)
