it really depends on the school. For examply, an MSIS from ITT technical insitute is not as good as a BS CS from Stanford. However, a MSIS from MIT is much better than a BSCS from Montana State. Again, it really depends on what you want to do, where you want to work, and exactly the position requires.

Well, a Master of Science is probably going to give you more opportunity since it is an advanced degree. However, you wouldn't be able to go into an MS program without a Bachelor's degree. Graduate programs require that you've completed an undergraduate (or bachelor's) degree.

What kind of jobs should I apply for with a masters, a BAS, and AAS in Information Systems
What kind of jobs should I apply for with a masters, a BAS, and AAS in Information Systems?
I am currently pursuing a Masters in Information Systems. I currently have a BAS in Technology Management and an AAS in Computer Networking. Right now, I work at a small private school, obtaining grants, researching new programs, working with parents & students, and fundraising. I got this job after staying home for three years and being out of the industry for 7. (I used to be a IT Manager for small telecommunications company that went bust in 2001). I really want to get back in IT (especially for the $) and I want to make sure that the education that I am getting will be marketable. I just don't know what types of jobs to go for. Can any one give me some ideas? I live in Atlanta.

I'd go for something in the government, State or Federal. The pay is almost as good as the private sector and you can't beat the benefits. I stayed private and kick myself now.

Do a job search on 'analyst' and you will see some very good variations of jobs related to your experience and interests. A lot of programming jobs are being outsourced, but the need for analysts are increasing.

There are plenty of schools that offer an MIS degree. Most, if not all, will be cheaper than University of Phoenix. I believe a decent, very inexpensive, MSIS degree is available at Dakota State University. http://www.departments.dsu.edu/disted/ I believe tuition will be about $7,000 for the entire program. Tuition for the UoP MSIS degree is probably close to $25,000. Good luck,

What are some job opportunities with a Master's in Health Information systems management
What are some job opportunities with a Master's in Health Information systems management?
What kind of jobs- salary range- companies etc can I work at with a master's in health management?

It's the same as MIS but you won't make as much money as in business. www.dol.gov

You basically will become a project manager for a hospital. There's not a lot of options since you're not going to be very technical. You could also become a business analyst or work in IT sales for healthcare consulting firm or healthcare software company. There's no real benefit in specializing in Health IT unless you REALLY want to work for a hospital or healthcare system like Blue Cross Blue Shield or insurance, CIGNA. Project managers with a master's right out of school make around $55-80K per year. It usually depends on what school you went to and how large the healthcare system is and in what city. People in NYC will make much more than a IT project manager in Boise Idaho. Getting an MBA with IT focus might be a better option because you'll get a bigger picture of how a company is run. Strong IT experience comes from actual experience not schooling. You might also want to get a PMP, project management certification.

Master of Science in Information Systems Engineering Or MBA in International Business

There is no such MBA. Universities don't grant MBA in information systems, or MBA in finance, or MBA in international business. They grant the degree Master in Business Administration, or they offer the MS in finance, MS in marketing, etc. The MBA is a general degree preparing students for management positions in any level of a business, up to CEO. MBA students study accounting, finance, marketing, management, statistics, economics, strategy, policy, and other courses. Many MBA programs offer concentrations in these and many other fields, but that amounts to only 2-3 courses in your chosen field in the second year of study. Many students avoid a concentration and take a variety of elective subjects to gain a broader background. By the time you finish the first year you'll be able to decide which concentration interests you. You don't become a specialist in a field with 2-3 courses. It generally takes a year of concentrated study. The MBA is not like an MS degree that concentrates study in a single field and prepares students for high level staff or research positions. The MS typically requires an undergraduate education in the field in which you want the MS, or a closely related field. A finance major does not get an MS in chemistry, and a biology major does not get an MS in accounting. If you want to specialize in a particular field other than business administration, such as finance, marketing, operations management, human resource management, or a non-business field such as public health, or public administration, you should get an MS degree in that specialization. MBA programs accept students in any undergraduate field. They prefer students who do not have a business background because they give you the business training but they cannot provide the broad background that managers should have. I have taught MBA students with degrees in Music, Medicine, Dentistry, Law, Psychology, Political Science, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, and many other fields. Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree, but some accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience. No one should consider an MBA program without consulting the Official MBA Guide. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It's the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.

How hard is the Masters of Information Systems program for someone who doesn't have a background in computers or mathematics? I have a Bachelor's of Science in Architecture and I'm looking into other disciplines. I am interested particularly interested in UMBC's Master of Information Systems program mainly because the job market appears excellent and I have always had an interest in technology.

IT job market is not excellent these days. Many big corporations are laying people off(Sun,Dell,Hp,Ibm,Symanted). Regarding your question, as long as you took basic programming courses in college you should be fine. But they will probably require you to take some business course prerequisites first.
2
Well, they may require some remedial coursework, but your sciences and maths (involved in your BS in Archetecture) should prepare you well for the coursework.

What references indeed. The whole point of research is to uncover new truths. Even if they only serve to initiate another round of questions. Good luck to you. Doug

Normally research interests are not as important in applications to master's programs as opposed to PhD programs. That being said, visit the websites of various MIS departments. Most will list areas of concentration and descriptions of the areas. As a side note, pick something that you think you will enjoy and not an area everyone says is great. Indicating an area of interest/research does not mean you have to pursue research in that area once you get to graduate school. Neither does it mean you are tied to it after you graduate. Chances are what you do in the workplace might have very little to do with the area you did research in.
