Best Grad Program For a Computer Science Major?

Posted by Soulskill on from the doctor-of-underwater-basketweaving dept.

ryanleary writes "I am currently a junior computer science major at a relatively competitive university. I intend to remain here for some graduate work, and I would like to get a master's degree. What would be a good field to study? An MS in computer science appears to be highly theoretical, while an MS in IT seems more practical due to its breadth (covering some management, HCI, and design). What looks best on a resume, and where might I expect to make more money in the not-too-distant future? Computer Science, Information Technology, or something different altogether — perhaps an MBA?"

    BMA = MBA. See if I had an MBA this probably wouldn't have happened.

    Hanoi? Didn't we evacuate Hanoi not too long ago? I'd grab the next helicopter out if I were you. Don't trust those tower construction methods out there.
