Masters after some time in the industry?

Graduate School
1

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I just finished my junior year in computer engineering, and have started thinking about grad school. I don't know much about how to get a masters degree (other than to take the GRE exam to get into grad school) or how it may be useful, but I want to know if it is possible to go to grad school after a few years of working. If so, how long is the maximum time I should work in the real world before the real experience starts to be worth more than a potential masters degree? Is it better to go to grad school right after undergrad even if I prefer not to? Thank you. I am mainly interested in Computer Science for masters.</p>

<p>Not planning a PhD path opens up more MS degree options and reduces the focus on past research. Simultaneously it allows more weight on the work experience. Of course it is a school specific answer, but there are many more programs available since a terminal PhD path has been ruled out.</p>
