<p>Both M.S. I am still hesitating about which graduate school to attend to. </p>
<p>The program in CMU is MISM(Information Systems Management), under Heinz College, the site claims that average starting salary for MISM graduates are almost 90k...really impressive.</p>
<p>While in UMich, the specialization is Human-Computer Interaction. UMich is surely a great school but in in terms of anything related to CS/IS, CMU seems to be better.</p>
<p>I find HCI is more appealing to me, not only the interdisciplinary nature, but the focus on 'design'. However, CMU has the best HCI program (I personally believe), I might have the opportunity to attend classes offered by HCI Institution. Moreover, positions about MISM graduates are not confined to software engineering...etc. </p>
<p>Anybody can share some knowledge about MIS vs HCI? salary, work style, career development, anything relevant... : )</p>
