In case anyone's interested, there's a very similar Masters at the University of Houston-Clear Lake which began around the same time. I recently graduated and on the whole would recommend it (although I can't say the same for Houston/Clear Lake itself). They also do an intensive summer course - two six week sessions in successive years plus work back home - with many people travelling there from around the world.

The course: http://www.cl.uh.edu/futureweb/

Some examples of stuff I did there: http://www.gyford.com/phil/uhcl/
