Hello, this is a big question, so I've tried to provide a lot of info.
Can any of you recommend or provide further info on online BS, MS, or MBA programs in the science, tech, or business realm?
I will be living in Brussels for three years come next summer due to my spouse's work. While I thought I had a job lined up, things are wavering, so as a fall-back, my employer is offering to pay for additional schooling, provided I take something related to science and/or business.
The following subjects are preferred by my employer: - engineering (any type)
- computer science
- data analytics (big data)
- MBA or finance
- data security
Below, I've listed programs I've identified as being feasible to meet my needs, though I'd like to hear opinions, if anyone has them.
I am leaning toward the Joint MBA/MS programs at UMUC and the combined BS/MS program at Regis University, so anyone with direct experience with those schools would be greatly appreciated.
Some caveats: - I have limited background in the sciences.
- My BA is in Eng Lit with History minor and a concentration in Pre-Med (Bio, Chem, etc, with labs)
- I have an MA in Int'l Affairs / Relations
- The program needs to be 99%+ online
- I'd prefer to have a program that takes 2-3 years full time to complete
- I've already looked at Brussels, and there are no programs I'm aware of that suit my needs in English
- I will not be using engineering or programming skills at my job, only the conceptual aspects, so labs and practical skills are not too critical
- I am keenly interested in Big Data analysis, analytics, information science, and the like, so further school recommendations would be appreciated
