I'm really interested in becoming a computer and information systems manager. Which colleges have strong programs in this field that would best prepare me for the role? I'd love suggestions on both well-known and underrated schools.
Sure, there are several great schools out there for aspiring computer and information systems managers. Both well-known universities and underrated institutions can offer solid programs in the field.
Starting with some of the well-known schools, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is regarded for its computer science program which lays a strong foundation for a career in information systems management. Stanford University also has an incredible computer science program, and its location in Silicon Valley provides access to internships and networking opportunities.
The University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) is another strong institution for this field. Specifically, their Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) program is regarded as one of the best globally.
On the underrated side, Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, often doesn't get the attention it deserves. Their Information Systems program in the Marriott School of Business is pretty rigorous and well-regarded.
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) is another underrated institution with a strong Information Technology and Management program.
Each of these universities offer excellent programs and have a well-earned reputation in the tech industry, so they may significantly help your career. Be sure to visit their websites to learn more about the programs and see which may be the best fit for you. Good luck!
