How long does/would it take to receive a Master of Science degree in Software Engineering Management

How long does/would it take to receive a Master of Science degree in Software Engineering Management?
I am pursuing a Master of Science in Information Systems degree after High School and I was just wondering how long it would take. At Strayer University it's a total of 324 credit hours and I don't know exactly how the credit hours and all that works. All I know right now is that I have to first get an Associate in Arts degree which is 90 credit hours then a Bachelor of Science which is 180 and finally the Master of Science which is 54. And also if you have any suggestions of other schools that might offer this around the Raleigh/Durham area in North Carolina that would be helpful too.

Strayer is worthless. No legitimate graduate school will take a Bachelor's in IS from Strayer, so you would be stuck taking Strayer all the way through. Then you will be jobless, with employers routinely throwing your job application listing Strayer degrees directly into the trash. Weren't you warned before you signed up for this disastrous school?

Please consider another school besides strayer as it is one of those online, for-profit schools (though may have 'brick and mortar' campuses and may be 'accredited') including penn foster, ashworth, devry, university of phoenix, capella, everest, kaplan, ITT tech, walden, remington and others as they are merely out to 'make a profit' (and course credits may Not transfer to other schools). There is a definite pattern with those online, for-profit schools regardless of any few positive stories ;) http://www.ripoffreport.com and http://www.pissedconsumer.com and http://www.complaintsboard.com and can search. Please instead consider a more traditional university as just about all of them offer some online classes. For US colleges: http://www.utexas.edu/world/univ For general career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search 'computer software engineers and computer programmers', 'computer and information systems managers' or such.

Bachelor's degree in Information Systems

Bachelor's degree in Information Systems?
I'm a sophomore undergrad getting ready to major in Information Systems, and alot of ppl suggested getting a minor in Finance or General Business ( i dont like accounting). WHat do you guys recommend? I was worried about the job outlook and that they dont get paid as well. ( I live in the Washington DC Area) Is information systems a hard major..or is it very do-able? Can anyone who majored in I.Systems tell me what its like, and if its an enjoyable/rewarding field? I plan on going on to graduate school to get my masters in the future.

I would probably get a minor in business, but be aware that part of the information systems curriculum includes business, economics, and accounting classes. As far as the difficulty, I've heard that it is substantially easier than a computer science degree. If you're interested in creating business applications, then it's probably better to get a computer science degree, choose elective CS courses on database programming and design, and get a minor in business.

A fascinating question! Too a subject that a great number of people have inquired into before. I must admit that this question you asked this moment is not simplely answered.

Should I get a bachelor's of science in psychology or a bachelor's in computer information systems (CIS)

Should I get a bachelor's of science in psychology or a bachelor's in computer information systems (CIS)?
Psychology is my passion, but I know it takes a lot of years, but I also enjoy computers and know I can do that but I'm scared that if I choose CIS I'll regret it later on for not choosing psychology, which is what I love to study. I know there aren't many opportunities with a bachelor's in psychology so I was planning to go for a master's also, but I know I won't be able to afford it without taking a loan and will take a long time and have heard that people have had high debt by the time they graduate. Also, don't you think psychologist earn a little for all the years they have to go to school where as someone in technology just has to get a bachelor's and can earn a lot. However, I also know that some psychologist do make a lot of money, but don't they have a phD or can someone with a master's also earn a lot. I am really passionate about psychology so do you think its possible to earn a lot if I try really hard and if I do how long will it take me to start making good money? I'm so confused which is why I think I should go into CIS, but think I'll regret it. I want to make a lot of money, but I also want to be happy since I'm going to have to do it for the rest of my life. Also, psychologist study rats and I do not like the sound of that, but I love to study about people and how we think and all that good stuff. Please help any answers will be greatly appreciated! Okay so If I go for psychology is the University of Phoenix a good univ. or should I go somewhere else because I heard it won't get me into an accredited program.

Well how about doing both! Focus for undergrad now and take classes in psych and cis during the summer and winter sessions where you can in addition to the regular semesters. It may cost extra money but you will have 2 degrees to work with in the end which will make you far more employable then many other graduates. After school you can do work in cis to put away money for getting a masters in psychology. I would recommend you look into a masters in organizational psych or industrial psych with having an undergrad in cis. With both degrees you could pioneer a new area of research or something. Good luck and work hard

Psychology... Go with your heart. I worked in a computing related industry and it (technology) moves so quick....I got burnt out. Psychology would be rewarding, and the basic foundation doesn't change over time.... With I.T. you'll be lucky to take a year off and still think your skills are relevant. It's forever changing, but if you truly get a kick out of Computing and the growth of the industry, along with the change it goes through year in year out, go for it. Me, i'd go with Psychology.

Follow your passion, psychology! The pay for CIS has declined over time because all it takes is training, and as more people go into it, the less value they are worth. By the time you finish a degree, the pay for CIS may have declined further, and if you don't like it, you might end up in a career you don't like for less pay. On the other hand, if you love your work, you can derive satisfaction with less pay, if that is what comes about. Start out with the plan to get a bachelor's degree, and then you can evaluate the opportunities as you progress. There is research money available that professors can use to support graduate students, so you might be able to get tuition support for your advanced degree, including MS and/or PhD. If you decide that is not for you, then there will still be opportunities in education, career counseling, social work, etc., that you might find fulfilling. It is difficult to plot out a career if your only goal is to make the most money. Life is long, and you spend 1/3 of it at work, so it is better to enjoy your work and make enough money to live on, rather than to hate your work and spend a lot of money trying to forget it during your little free time.

i followed my heart and now but a teand in the mean time i'm teaching english which was all i wanted a day but now after 4 years of teaching i'm not making enough money to enjoy my life and i'm not even enjoying my time coz i just have to work hard i even don't have enough time to make some progress in my field of study i mean english,. so what are you going to do following your dreams while you know it's not going to make you any money and you'll be in debt after graduating??????? you won't be happy after a while you get tired of paying back the money.. you'd better follow computer science honey and besides follow some psychological courses too if you do love it...good luck dear
