What you decide depends on your career objective. The MBA is a general business degree training students for top level management positions up to CEO or for those with entrepreneurial objectives of starting their own business. 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. Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree. The Master of Science is a specialized degree in a particular field such as finance, chemistry, accounting, engineering, etc. training students for top level staff and research positions who prefer not to get into general management. 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. MS programs typically do not require work experience. 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., 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. But in those programs you don't get the benefit of learning from other students who have work experience. A lot of valuable learning takes place through class interaction. Before you decide on an MBA program explore the Internet for information on available programs. There is a lot of information available. Some sites are limited to specific countries, such as Germany, UK, or Australia. There is a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. The nice thing is that it allows you to find the program that best fits you. 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 (look for AACSB accreditation or at least AACSB membership), 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, joint degrees such as MBA/JD, and much more. You can use it 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. some of the other sites are less comprehensive, but all are useful.

Information Systems Management or Environmental Management

Information Systems Management or Environmental Management?
Which of these Masters program should I pursue? Which seems a little more prestigious in today's world? I wouldn't mind working in either field but I was wondering just which one was worth the high tuition price? Which one would yield more results and offer more job options? Which one has more reputation?

Information Systems....You come out making a hell of alot of money right off the bat. A field in high demand. My mom got a AA degree in it in the 70's and she still makes $85,000 a year. Go for it! If you got the brains...pursue it. Good luck!

Try talking to someone who works in the Career Services Center at the school you graduated from. Maybe they have some ideas where you can start. The University I graduated from has an advisement center that helps with resumes, interviewing skills and job search help.

Is it ok to pursue a Master's Degree in a different field than your Bachelor's Degree

Is it ok to pursue a Master's Degree in a different field than your Bachelor's Degree?
I have a Bachelor's of Science degree in Computer Information Systems, and I want to pursue a Master's Degree in Counseling that a university where I live offers. Does this make any sense to do this? How would it work if I did this? How would employers look at it? I'm looking for answers preferrably from people who have actually done this. I'd like to know the pros and cons of it, and what their successes have been. Thanks so much for the help!

Getting a master's degree in a field entirely different than one's undergraduate major is not uncommon these days.

Of course you can. People change directions in life all the time. Look into the prerequisites for the counseling program to make sure that you are eligible for admission. Employers will not hold your "previous life" against you. A number of employers, particularly in counseling, prefer people who are a little older, with more direction and experience. So long as you do well in your grad program and internship, and you can obtain strong letters of recommendation, employment will not be a problem. Of course, I'm assuming that the program is accredited, so make sure you look into that as well. Best of luck to you!

Of course you can...My boss has a Bachelors in Electronic Engineering and a Masters in Business Communications (go figure)...so YES...go for it!!

Of course you can get a different type of Master's degree. Employeers won't look at it negatively and in fact most might hire you hoping you'll be a cheap source of computer insight and knowledge!

That's what my friend did! He didn't like the undergrad major, so he changed. I think it's called growing up- you know yourself better and that makes you make different decisions. Good luck!

What are the projects like? I can give you an answer based on the particular type of projects.

Ugh, I have the same problem sometimes. I know I should be doing my research, but It takes me ages to get going sometimes. I love my subject, but sometimes doing nothing is far more appealing. Everyone has this problem to some degree, but getting over it is easier said than done. Set yourself some time goals, and try your hardest to reach them before your personal deadline. Also, put work before pleasure. A night of drinking with friends may sound fun, but knowing your up to date with your work (and that you won't have professors breathing down your neck) is far better. Trust me. Anyway, I hope this helped! Good luck with your project!

Have been through that phase in life. Try making each project interesting by giving real life examples and scenarios. IT project reports and documentation generally tend to be boring, especially so, if you are in London and stuck with the gloomy weather for days together. But good thing about IT projects is that you can always relate to some real life scenarios and its fun that way. You will get to appreciate the larger picture and how your IT systems fit in with a business model. Also, try organising some fun outings for project discussions with the team....my experience is that IT guys get their cranky ideas from pizza and coke ;) Enjoy your projects.... Cheers, Harsha harsha7kp@yahoo.com PS: mail me some snippets about your project and probably I can help.

Can any one tell me GIS(geographical information systems) is a good field to take it as a carreer.? I have done my diploma in mechanical engineering, presently working in a GIS company in Bangalore and also doing my Btech(5th sem part time) in civil engineering. I am very much interested to take up Gis as my carrer as it is an emerging area can any one tell me that the field which i have choosen is right.? a)Further how can i grow in the field of gis? b)What are all the software that i have to master? c)what are all the books that i have to study? d)Do i have a bright furture in this field? e)Is there plenty of jobs in this field Please send me a reply as soon as possible. Software - 1 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 Yes - the field you have chosen is right. Do the things you love and leave the rest to the God! (a) Breath Gis. Walk Gis. Dream Gis. you will grow naturally. Once you love it, you will have more interests in it and everything will follow naturally. (b) Try using these free-GIS tools to get used to the terms and etc http://freegis.org/ The type of software you will need to learn perhaps is better determined when you are in GIS college. You will definitely need to learn ESRI as this software is used by major GIS companies. Also learn to use IDRISI. Don't worry if you do not have the budget now, just check out the free software listed above. That should get you used to some features of GIS software. By the time you have some sort of degree, you will already have had a chance to work with these software which would be offered in your University, etc. (c) You should read not only GIS books but also maths and science books as they too are related to your subject. Here are some good books to start reading now GIS.. c1. An Introduction to Geographical Information Systems, and also the "Thinking About GIS by Roger Tomlinson" c2. How maps works c3. Principles of Geographic Information Systems by P.A. Burrough c4. Introduction to Physical Geography and the Environment by Joseph Holden c5. GIS Fundamentals by P.A. Burrough There is no rule to which books you should read. You could pick any books that is related to your subject until your university/college tells you to read specific books as part of their curriculum program. You might also enjoy reading GIS magazines, try the magazine Geoinformatics. You could also consider magazine printed in your own country as a good economical option. (d) Yes you do (e) Yes, there are lots of jobs in this field. But be good at it, there will be lots of jobs as well as lots of candidates!!
