Get Your IT Degree and Get Ahead Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The book does a satisfactory job of answering commonplace questions, like where to find university web site info, the array of degrees that institutions offer(BA,BS,MS,PhD.) and what to do if you need to qualify for those computer majors at various universities and colleges, and financial aid solutions and few suggestions to those persons who are thinking of returning to school while still working--like how to get your employer to contribute to your educational expenses.
They use a star system to rate the websites of the top 200 IT institutions based on their standards of functionality, info, and design. Please! Unless schools have students working on the websites for credit, research projects, or other benefits or the schools are willing to shell out some serious money to industry professionals, the web designs will of these institutions will be lackluster and amateurish as we all know that schools' pay scales are less than the free market will dictate. Their ratings system is a joke. What the authors need to tell you (the consumer)is who has the best computer instructors, best reputations--both academically and recruiter-wise, selectivity of program for student, online/distance education availability, and rankings.
(If you should like info on computer/MIS/IT programs, see online info from US News and World Report and/or BusinessWeek.)
I used the book to gain additional insight for considering MBA programs with MIS majors with an e-commerce emphasis. Alas, I am still not sure whether I'll choose the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities or the University of Maryland at College Park.
Overall, it is a good book for looking at an IT degree. 3 stars!
