WGU - MS IT Management or MBA Information Technology

[jlearn25]

The MS IT Masters and MBA IT Management are two very different degrees. The IT Masters focuses more on the technical side, whereas the IT Management is an MBA with mostly business coursework. Without knowing your specific situation, I would say unless you are managing highly technical consultants, I would (and did) choose the MBA for a mid-career manager in IT.

Mednat, thanks for your insight and I actually agree i have come to that conclusion as well. The MBA path seems to be my better path to take at this point in my career. I was looking for speed of the degree but the MBA path just makes more practical sense. From everything i am reading (and also from your comments) it sounds like WGU has a nice program that would be affordable and well done. My other choice would probably be Patton but something doesnt seem right about that one...I have no clue why i feel that way, so I dont mean to offend anyone by that comment.

thx all
