What Degree Will Continue To Move My Career Forward?

[Knightyear]

Hello!

I have been racking my brain for weeks trying to figure out what grad degree is right for the situation I currently am in.

Undergrad: B.S Management Information Systems

GPA: 2.88 (working full time while taking 5 classes a semester)

Location: Chicago

Job Title: Manager Information Technology (top 4 biotech company)

Current Salary: 150k 

Work will cover 35k over the life of MBA.

Experience: 9 Years

References: CIO and Sr Dr Manufacturing.

 

Id like to remain technical but also gain a degree of value in my current role. Here are some programs that I am looking at:

MCIT at U Penn

iMBA at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign 

MIT at Virginia Tech

 

Are MBA’s worth it if not at a top school? Would MCIT be good for remaining technical and checking off the grad box on resumes? I’m trying to boost my Resume and truly remain technical.
