What master or end goal is it specifically: Computer Science
How young are you: 26
How many years of experience do you have in your field: 3 yoe as SWE in a company that ranks within the top 3 worldwide in its industry
more details: GRE 326; An academic paper(SCI)
end goal: Using UMPI's undergraduate degree to help me apply to better master's programs and finally find a better SWE job
I don't have time to prepare for TOEFL for now. I heard that in general, the US undergraduate program can be used to waive the TOEFL requirement, so I also hope that it can be used to waive the TOEFL requirement of the master's program. This is another purpose. That's why I don't choose a master's degree directly but go for a bachelor's degree.
It's cool, no worries. When you got your academic evaluation, did it come out with a Bachelors in Computer Science equivalent to a Regionally Accredited US Bachelors degree? If so, I still don't really know why you would continue on your current path... I can see if you want a Business Administration degree with a concentration in PM/IS, but if you're going for a Masters in Computer Science, it really won't help with entry. I would only go this route if you're trying to bolster your GPA on the last X number of credits... otherwise, if you have an above average or suitable GPA already, it's a waste of energy, money, time. But you do your way, it should work just as you wanted it... I understand your needs and wants, continue on with your methods, good luck!
and suggestions.
