BA in CS vs. BALS w/ CS Concentration

[sanantone]

I doubt a communications or liberal studies degree will be more marketable in this area. IT and IS programs are intended for tech jobs that don't require computer science knowledge. TESU does have a BS in Business Administration with a concentration in Computer Information Systems as well as a BS in IT.

Thanks, sanantone!

In all honesty, none of the support engineer jobs require a degree, but I want to have one regardless and figured I'd keep it in mind with my career.

Both CIS and IT appear to be fields that are not totally in line with web development/web based technologies, CIS a little more than IT, but I have little desire to manage business or people, so a BSBA is not my end goal at all.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I always enjoy and take note of your insight!!!!

The BSBA has some of what you would get in a communications program plus the IT stuff. There are IT programs with a focus on web development, but your area of focus can easily be formed in the area of study electives. I used six credits from a web development program I was in towards my BSBA in CIS. If I had decided to, I could have taken more courses/tests related to web technologies. Computer information systems is all about applying computer technologies to business needs.
