<p>Hey Guys,</p>
<p>I am an MS in EE, and currently working for storage company since last 2 years, I want to increase my knowledge in S/W field and gain double degree in S/W and business field. Does any1 know what are the good schools in bay area SF which offers such dual degrees.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>There are only two business schools worth going to in Northern California: Stanford and Berkeley. If you are willing to venture south, UCLA is also decent and USC is passable. Those are pretty much the only programs worth the time & investment in California.</p>
<p>I’m not sure about the MS in software, but Berkeley and Stanford are also tops in computer engineering and electrical engineering. CMU also offers graduate degrees through a satellite campus in Silicon Valley.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Yeah computer engg would do, but do they offer dual degree? I know SJSU does that.<br>
Are there any other schools /options ?</p>
<p>Any help is highly appreciated.</p>
<p>What do you want to do after graduate school? Do you want to continue along a technical track or do you want to break into the traditional post-MBA careers like management consulting or investment banking?</p>
<p>Engineering/technical employers (even the very top ones) are generally pretty egalitarian and willing to hire a graduate of any school as long as he/she knows her stuff. There are many decent schools in the Bay Area where you can get a good education and land a good technical job if you do well. Stanford, Berkeley, SFSU, SJSU, Santa Clara, and probably others. </p>
<p>Top MBA employers are the exact opposite. Hiring into management consultancies, high finance, and top level management positions is very pedigree driven. There are only a handful of schools in the entire country that such employers will even consider hiring from. On the west coast those schools are Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, and maybe USC - in that order. Really. The bottom of the class at Stanford will have significantly better opportunities than the top graduates of even a school as good as USC.</p>
<p>So figure out what you want to do. If you want a career in business shot for the top schools. If you want a technical career, then go wherever you feel you will do well.</p>
<p>You might be interested in CMU’s graduate program in software management. It’s not an MBA, however. CMU is located at the old NASA site.</p>
