Is it worth doing a Masters in Information Systems Management degree from Keller Graduate School of Management

Question

i want to enroll for a Masters in information Systems course at Keller graduate school of Management but i dunno how credible it is. i have heard a lot of bad things about devry university as such but i plan to take an on campus course and not an online course so can anybody please tell me if my decision will land me in a good job once i finish or should i look for other options.

Answer 1

Real world experience is MUCH more important than an MIS MBA. I've been in tech for about 7 years and have been up to director level in my career path...I have an MIS B.S. but no MBA. It really depends on what you want to do with it. I work as an IT Analyst (Systems and Business) but have no desire to work as a large scale project manager or consultant to them...I like my 40 hour weeks! If you DO want to get into a high profile, high stress, suit and tie kind of IT job...go for the MBA. It'll pay for itself in a year or two.

But buy stock in your favorite antacid company.

:) Good luck!

Depends on where you plan to work. In Silicon Valley you demonstrate your technical prowess on the job and you'll advance. Noone talks about masters degree in IS around these parts. The trick is getting in the door. Seems like most get in with a specific skill - like programming, data communications (Cisco CCIE) or MSCE or just come in with skills in Unix learned by late nights of practice.
