Best Grad Program For a Computer Science Major?

Posted by Soulskill on Sunday March 29, 2009 @04:05AM 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?"

I'd say top 50 in the Financial Times rankings, but the closer you are to the top the better.
You never answered my question. I didn't ask you to point me to the locations where I can find the top tier schools, I asked you to tell me what a top tier school is.
