I am in 11th grade and working to narrow down my college list. One of the factors that I am considering is whether a school has a combined 5 year BS/MS program in computer science (or a similar MS like software engineering). Is this something that employers like Facebook, Google or, Microsoft look for? Or is it better to leave school sooner and begin work with a BS? One thing I should add is that I am also considering getting an MBA which would require work experience before going to graduate school. Which would be the best option? Thanks in advance for your input.
Even though it’s good to narrow your schools I don’t know why you want to do a combined 5 year program. I suggest you go with a bachelor’s first and see if you like it after that you can go for an MS but why do you want an MBA? What do you seek out of it?
I think the MS would provide me more technical skill, but on the other hand an MBA might open up more doors for management or starting my own business. I wouldn’t decide for a while, I just think it might be nice to have the option of going on for one more year to earn an MS if that’s what I really want to do. I’m just not sure how much I should consider that when making my college decision.
