What's a good online school to pursue my Masters in Information Technology degree?
I plan on going for my Masters in IT and just wondering if anyone has completed their Masters in IT online and what school they went to.

Hi Pimpcash! I can't advise you from personal experience, as I haven't taken a Masters online - but there are courses available at Kaplan, Regis and Capella Universities. These universities all offer different kinds of Master's Degrees in IT. You can research these and other courses at OnlineDegreesNews.com

Should I get an MBA or Masters in Information Technology Management
Should I get an MBA or Masters in Information Technology Management?
Here's my background. I was in the Air Force and fixed a military computer system for nine years (not PCs). I also worked communications systems for a year. I got out, took a few programming and calculus classes, but ended up getting my degree in biology. I am going to the Army as an officer and plan to work in signals, which is their IT division. I would be getting this degree through Webster in a coop program they have with the military. Which degree would open me up to the better career in the civilian world?

Probably the ITM. The need for this is growing extremely rapidly. An MBA is a general degree, while the ITM is much more specialized and is more in tune with what you are doing and expect to do. Regards, Dan

I would choose MBA. You can use that for any field you go into in the future. ITM limits you, and doesn't really give you a leg up on anyone else. Your experience and knowledge matter more than the degree in the IT field. If you want to end up in administration and management, go with the MBA.

Probably the MBA You already have a lot of experience. The MBA is a general degree designed to train student to enter any area of management. Most MBA programs accept students with any undergraduate degree. The MBA is in contrast to the MS degree which trains students to reach higher levels of knowledge in their specialty so that they can serve as better staff and researchers, with no intention of becoming high level managers. Consult the Official MBA Guide, a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. 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, etc), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. You can use the Guide 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. It's the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.

Try to get help from your instructors and if that does not work, hire a tutor.

Bachelor of Nursing going to Masters of Information Technology
Bachelor of Nursing going to Masters of Information Technology?
I have graduated from Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Afterwards, is it possible to take Masters in Information Technology? Even if the bachelors degree is not related to the masters degree? or do I have to take up another Bachelors degree for information technology from scratch? I'm asking this because bachelors is too long, 4 hours. While masters is only 2 years, which I prefer. Thank you so much for your help. :) I mean bachelors is 4 years, while masters is only 2 years.

I doubt it you can jump from nursing to IT. I suspect you will have to take up another Bachelors degree in and IT related subject to progress onto the masters. It does depend on the university though.

I think you have to first take few subjects related to IT and then YOU CAN SHIFT YOUR FIELD FROM MEDICAL TO IT....

Find a university at which the general courses (english, history, math, sciences, phys ed, etc) of your nursing degree will transfer to satisfy the first two years of their bachelor in IT. Then go for only two years to satisfy the requirements of their bachelors in IT. You will not be allowed to enroll in any 2 year masters program in IT with an unrelated bachelors degree that I've ever heard of. Some grad schools may set you up on a three year course of study to get their Masters in IT, while others will require you to get your bachelors first. UT Knoxville, for example, offers a three year masters degree in Architecture for those with an unrelated bachelors degree. An outside shot is if some university offers a two year "health science" IT masters degree - to qualify those with health science bachelor's degrees to work in IT jobs in hospitals. If such a program exists somewhere, it would probably be at a university that also has a med school like Vanderbilt. There is no point in getting an associates in IT when you already have the first two years worth of courses for most bachelors in IT completed already. If you just want to get out of nursing - you could probably get a job at a drug company. My sister was a nurse and now flies around the country for a drug company monitoring the research the doctors are doing with their drugs. She makes six figures and didn't have to go back to school. If you do go back to school, try to get into an internship so you'll have a job when you graduate - there would be nothing worse than spending all that time and money on a second degree and then not be able to find someone who would give you a chance to do it.
