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?
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.

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.

I'd say Web Tech. Web 2.0 is proof that systems, social sites and basically interaction as a whole is moving from the local computer to the worldwide web. Why do something small when you can act global? I guess in the end its your decision about what you enjoy more... that is the biggest thing for me... if you don't like what you do, why do it?

Master of IT in information system is better because there are many of job opportunities in this field specially if you have experience

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.
