Is it a waste of money to obtain a Masters of Science Information Systems online for $30,000 if no experience


Is it a waste of money to obtain a Masters of Science Information Systems online for $30,000 if no experience?
Sorry, ran out of room for the question. If you have no previous experience is it worth it? Thank you very much!

Yes I think it is a total waste of money and time to obtain a master of Science information degree if there is no work experience. Plus online degrees do not work most of the times.

In certain fields, it is better to gain experience before obtaining a Master's degree. I believe Information Systems is one of those. However, just because it is better, doesn't mean it is necessary. Is it a waste of money? If you are paying $30,000 for a 36 semester hour Master's degree, you are wasting money. Let me guess, University of Phoenix or DeVry or possibly Kaplan. Go to University of Illinois. http://www.online.uillinois.edu/catalog/ProgramDetail.asp?ProgramID=438 Tuition is $217.75 per quarter credit hour. Total tuition is about $13,000. They only enroll 12 graduate students each fall, so competition is tight. If that doesn't work, try Dakota State University. Their program is only 30 credit hours at $252.45 per semester credit hour. Total: $7,573.50 Good luck
