Best Master's Degree to complement a security clearance?

I have an IT related bachelor's degree, worked as an network/system admin for a few years, then joined the military. I'm still serving and have a couple years left in my contract.

I have tuition assistance while I'm active duty plus GI bill to use. I want to start working towards my master's degree. Probably won't be able to finish it by the time I'm out of the military, but would like to be well on my way.

I plan on going back into something IT related, but not sure what focus. I really would like to get a job that will use my clearance, for the extra money, and to keep it current. Security seems to be the obvious choice, but I'm open to whatever gives me the widest range of options.

So I need to find a decent enough program, that has online classes (would prefer to take as much as I can online, at least to begin with). Suggestions?

Perhaps a master's degree in etiquette? "That's a very nice security clearance you've got there."
 
If you want to work for the government, I'm not joking, go Accounting. If you want to work for a contractor, it probably doesn't matter - having an active clearance plus service time (especially as an officer, but enlisted is good too) will help you get in.

I'm probably either the only, or one of the very few, posting in this thread that has worked for a consulting firm doing government contracting and also as a government employee.
