As far as I know, there is no Master's in Web. Even a Bachelor's is hard to come by. If you want to, you could go for your CIW certification and master in one of their branches.

You wont just be dealing with Web Development on the masters degree but ALL the fields of computer science.. you're not just going to deal with developing stuff but you're going to ANALYZE all computer structure up to the SMALLEST ATOM from computer hardware, networking, programming and other stuff. You're going to act like doctors dissecting the computer and the operating system describing and explaining all the functions up to the smallest particle. So you're you going to deal with formulas, theories, concepts, and blah blah. That means you're going to read thick books. Oh I have more to tell but I hope you got my point.

You forgot "EXPENSIVE"

"That means you're going to read EXPENSIVE thick books."

And lots and lots of them.

And you'll need to buy them for your self because of all of the notes you'll write in the margins.

"EXPENSIVE"? nooo most of the thick books are uploaded and shared via torrents or rapidshare and downloadable for free. Too bad you're going to read it electronically though (unless you print all of them (it's thick).

Yeah, you probably don't want to limit yourself to web development. Either stick with CS or find something that involves security. My school had an Master in Information Systems and E-Commerce degree that was pretty close to what your looking for.
