MIS vs. CS degrees

[ss20ts]

I am planning to also work on an UMPI BAL MIS degree, but was curious if anyone had heard of any "issues" with the degree being a "Liberal Studies" degree?  I've never looked a lot at the "Liberal Arts" parts of colleges before, is "Liberal Studies" akin to "Liberal Arts"?  Does it prevent you from pursuing a Masters in MIS from another school, where the Masters is from the business or science department?

Some schools will require very specific bachelor's degrees for entry into their master's programs. IT/CIS/Comp Sci/ and even business programs can be very particular. You need to have the appropriate foundation as an undergrad for most of these types of programs because you will not be covering the basics as a grad student. Undergrad programs typically teach you the theories behind the concepts. In grad programs you're typically applying the theories and doing research. The BLS with MIS minor is not an MIS degree at all. I've completed this degree and unless one already works in IT/CompSci/CIS you won't really have the necessary knowledge and skills to begin a career in this field with this degree. You don't build a portfolio either. You complete 1 paper, project, or exam for each course so there's nothing to really use for a portfolio either. It's not a program where you can really hone your skills.
