MBA or MISM??


Question:
Carnegie mellon offers a Master in information systems management 1 year full time degree... is it worth doing this degree or taking up an MBA instead i have 3 years + of IT system admin experience... any recommendations...

Answer:
The answer would depend on what you want to do in the future.

If you want to stay in strictly technical roles, then - as the previous answer suggested - professional certification is the better investment. However, if you intend to move out of technical roles and move into management and business oriented opportunities, then MBA or MISM could help you.

If you are inclined to steer away from technical roles and want to stay within IT industry/specialty, then MISM is a better choice and certainly with Carnegie Mellon's good reputation. If you are considering going into other industries, then MBA would be more suitable.

Best wishes.
(From my own experience as someone who has both MBA and MS in CS)
My suggestion is not to take up either. If you're not in management it don't really help you in any way. I would rather you take up specialized courses like PMP/CISA/CISSM
