Masters Degree Software Application Development

andrew79
andrew79 over 4 years ago

I am about to complete my BS in Software Engineering for Computer Science and debating about getting a Masters in either software or cyber....is anyone taking this program or know someone who has taken it?

Was wondering if it would be really worth it, seems like if I can get 12 credits to transfer Id only need to take 24 credits worth which would be 4 terms so really could be done in a year.

TIA!

    Hi Andrew, It's hard to know. On the face of it I'd say any education can be worthwhile, and deciding to do a Masters or not is partially down to how you feel about it. I did a masters, and it initially…

    In the US, most wage scales are degree biased.

     

    When I picked up my masters in computer science my salary went up about 20% plus since I was moving into management, the degree allowed me to get anywhere from 30 to 50% more money than someone with just a bachelors degree.

     

    So if you just want to code, you probably don't need a masters, but if you want to be a team leader and progress up the chain of command, then a masters will pay you nice dividends over the years.

     

    Your choice.
