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.
