How to pursue accounting when I already have a BA in Information Systems?
Hi, I am interested in a career in accounting. I have a Bachelor in Information Systems. I am thinking of 2 options. First going back to school to get another Bachelor in Accounting, Second getting a Master’s in Accounting. Do you think going for a Master in accounting will be ok and easy? I don’t have any experience at all about accounting and I never studied accounting before. I am worry of failing the program because of my 0 knowledge about accounting. So should I go for a Bachelor in accounting or a master in accounting? I would like to know how hard it will be for me to go for a master in accounting? Any advice how I can achieve the above or any options on what I should do? Thank you.

What is the difference between a M.S graduate degree and a Masters graduate degree
| What is the difference between a M.S graduate degree and a Masters graduate degree ? Some colleges and universities in the U.S. name their graduate degrees as M.S in "abc " eg) M.S., in Computer Science, M.S., in Information Technology and M.S., in Software Engineriing while some "only" name these deegrees as Master of "abc" eg) Master of Information Systems, Master of Information Technology and Master of in Software Engineriing What is the difference between between a grduate degree being called as Master of "abc" and M.S in "abc "? Is the difference between those graduate degrees which do not have pre-requisite courses being called as Master of "abc" and those with a requirement of pre-requisite courses calling as M.S in "abc "? Or their is no difference whatsoever in this nomenclature? Its is just a University and College policy to name their particular graduate degree as M.S in "abc " and Master of "abc"? Can anyone throw some light on this? Higher Education (University +) - 3 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 The exact degree requirements will vary slightly depending upon the educational institution itself. Where I went to school you could get a "Master of 'abc'" or a "M.S. of 'abd'". (Note the regular "Masters" was also known as the Masters of Arts degree.) The difference being that the M.S. degree required a few extra courses in the degree plan and these courses were required to be a specific science designated within the degree. In some cases the "M.S." degree requirements were also more involved in the research project. In any case the M.S. degree requirements are generally more demanding than the Masters of Arts degree. 2 Master's degrees fall into various categories, but there are generally 4 or so overarching categories. M.A. Master's of Arts - most fine arts, humanities, and behavioral science degrees (sociology, economics) fall into this category M.S. Master's of Science - most natural science, computer science and sometimes behavioral science (especially applied, like applied psychology or counseling psychology) fall into this category. {just as an aside, some schools, like Johns Hopkins, refers to their M.S. degrees as Sci.M, but for all intents and purposes, its the same} M. Ed - Master's in Education. Meaning you have a degree in one of the Educational disciplines, like...Education, or Special Ed, or Instruction, or Guidance and Counseling, etc. MSW - Master's of Social Work. Having a concentration in that one field. Similarly, an MDiv is a Master's of Divinity, having a concentration in this. So is a Master's in Public Health (MPH). These are considered SPECIALIZED degrees, in fields that aren't arts, science, or education, but sort of a combination. MBA - Master's of Business Administration. Similar to the specialized degree, however, in the working world, an MBA is considered a TERMINAL degree, meaning it is considered the highest one can achieve in a given field {which translates into "more pay". And frankly, it's not true anymore; there are doctorate's in Business Admin, but virtually all of them teach} Other examples of terminal degrees are PhDs, JDs (law degrees), MDs, and (to some degree) MPH {although there are DPHs}. When you get down to it, the difference between a Master's of Information Technology and an M.S. in Information Tech is all semantics; technically a Master's in IT is an MS in IT. Nobody sees you as "more qualified" because you are one or the other. Hope that clarifies it for you. 3 well, the MS has the more general discipline and that it is more broad and quite "hard". on the other hand a Master's degree focuses on specific disciplines to which the specialization is more defined than the MS degree. |

Do you have to have a prior GPA of 3.0 or higher in order to be excepted for Depaul's Master's in CS, or IS
Do you have to have a prior GPA of 3.0 or higher in order to be excepted for Depaul's Master's in CS, or IS?
Basically do you need a 3.0 or above in your bachelor's degree program in Computer Science or Information Systems in order to be accepted for the Master's degree program?

Master Degree quality
Master Degree quality.?
Question: I will soon pursue my master degree in Information Systems. My question is, does it matter where the degree come froms? The question concerns with the H1-B 20,000 limit for Master Degree. Would it matter if let's say I got a Master's from University of Phoenix(or Streyer) or somewhere along the lines of Virginia Tech, UVA, or Princeton? Just checking to make sure, since I don't want to go throug the process of going to get a H1 and they deny me because the Masters is not from a well known College/University. Thanks for the quick reply back. It's not about the RESPECT aspect i'm looking for. Especially since I'm mostly in the field of Web Developing/Application and let my portoflio do the talking in my capabilities. Well then I guess as long as the school is accreditted and is allowed to issue master degrees then it's not a issue. Thanks again Sorry Web Developing/Design. Obviously employers will look to see where you got the Masters, but from talking to my supervisors a shiney diploma saying I got a masters doesn't compare to actual proof of online works. Also wanted to add that I got my Bachelors of Bussiness Administration at James Madison (CIS/IT) Looking at colleges such as George Mason ( E-Commerce) and Stratford University (MS in Information Systems) Mostly it's about the cost. GMU would cost double the amount of Stratford. So as long as degree is not in question. CanTexan I'm sorry, but i'm not an idiot. I did manage to graduate from a US Accredited University. So I already know that you need a US employer to sponsor my H1-B. Now second part, you obviously do NOT know the specifics of a F-1 student visa (like how i used the caps, to sound condenscending?). Once I get accepted by the University for the grad program my visa Extends so i am not REQUIRE to leave.

It's up to the employer to decide. They may care about the accreditation of the education. If there is a critical need for their position to be filled, they may take what they can get.

Yeah, Masters degrees from coleges know for the program you are Mastering in....U of Pheonix is an online school...NO ReSPECt

Well you could technically attend an internet school anywhere in the world, so that might not be a good. However I know people who got grad degrees from no name schools and they were issued H-1s.

Snort. My understanding is that any back of the matchbook advertised program would do, but I hope I'm wrong. Check at uscis.gov. Obviously, it would make a BIG difference in terms of landing a job.

Hmmm. You (the individual in question) do not get to apply for an H1B. A company must sponsor you for that type of visa; it is both employer- and job-specific. Usually they verify your academic background against US standards in similar instances. For this, having a degree from an accredited insitution (either within the US or abroad) will make their job easier and thus be more likely to result in a job offer to you. That being said - if you're obtaining your degree while you're physically present in the US, you already have to be on some type of student visa classification - which may REQUIRE you to leave the country for a specific period of time before you are allowed to return to the US (either as a tourist or as a potential holder of a work visa). If you're obtaining it through an online program ... do your best to ensure they are an accredited institution before plunking down any cash for courses. EDIT: In response to the addendum to the original query: I realize that any full-time student may remain within the US to continue studies per the following item. "When you enter the United States on a student visa, you will usually be admitted for the duration of your student status. That means you may stay as long as you are a full time student, even if the F-1 visa in your passport expires while you are in America. For a student who has completed the course of studies shown on the I-20, and any authorized practical training, the F-1 student is allowed the following additional time in the U.S. before departure: - an additional 60 days, to prepare for departure from the U.S. or to transfer to another school." However, there *may* also be a requirement associated with the F-1 status that stipulates the individual must leave the US and remains abroad for a minimum period of time after completion of the F-1 program before being eligible to return to the US for employment or other reasons.
