MBA to compliment my Computer Science degree a good idea?

Graduate School

<p>Hello everyone. After getting my bachelors degree in computer science, I can pursue an MBA degree for free if I would like. This is because my father is a professor at Pfeiffer University, an institution that offers the degree. I plan to go to back to school to get my masters and doctorate in computer science as well; however, the MBA would only be free until I turn 26, and the CS degrees won't be free, so I plan to pursue the MBA before getting my graduate degrees in CS. This MBA program only requires a few accounting and math classes prior to matriculation, therefore my computer science bachelors degree will suffice as the prerequisite. Is an MBA something that will go well with my computer science degree, or would pursuit of this degree be a waste of one to two years' time and income?</p>

<p>Please offer your opinions. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I have an MBA (from Michigan)</p>

<p>If you have a degree in computer science, I don’t think it would be a good idea to get an MBA. </p>

<p>You are already in the right field.

Perhaps go get an MBA, at night, very slowly, and have the company you work for pay for it, if possible.</p>

<p>I never heard of Pfeiffer, so I don’t think an MBA from there will do you much good.</p>

<p>But even if it were Dartmouth, I would advise you to work for a couple years first.</p>
