I'm working toward my MBA and want to get into IT. My undergraduate degree is in business
administration and my MBA will be in general business. What additional training would I needed
to break into IT after I finish my MBA?
Would the Microsoft System Engineer Certification be a good avenue to pursue, or should I pursue
a related undergraduate degree?
Any certifications certainly will help boost your academic credentials. I would strongly
recommend that you shift your focus of your MBA to a concentration in IS, if your not too far
along. Even if you are well down the path, I would strongly encourage you to mix in as many
technology or electronic-commerce courses as possible. Without them, you can have all the
certifications in the world yet still be challenged on your technological understanding.
