Where was my MS in CS or MS in IS thread moved? Can it be accessed from the main forums page? If I can't find it, how can anyone else.
Thanks,

An MS in CS (Computer Science) focuses on the technical aspects of computer systems, including programming, algorithms, and software development. An MS in IS (Information Systems) focuses on the use of technology in businesses and organizations, including data management, project management, and system analysis.
The answer to this question depends on your career goals and interests. If you are interested in a more technical role, an MS in CS may be a better fit. If you are interested in the business and management side of technology, an MS in IS may be a better fit. It is important to research the curriculum and career outcomes of each program to determine which is the best fit for you.
Yes, many MS programs in CS and IS do not have specific undergraduate degree requirements. However, it is important to have a strong foundation in mathematics, as well as some programming experience if you are pursuing an MS in CS. Some MS programs may also offer prerequisite courses for those with non-technical backgrounds.
Yes, there are job opportunities that may require knowledge and skills from both CS and IS. For example, a technical project manager may need a strong understanding of both programming and business principles. Additionally, data analysts and data scientists may benefit from knowledge in both fields.
It is possible to switch between programs, but it may depend on the specific programs and their requirements. Some courses may be transferable, but it is important to speak with an academic advisor to determine the best path for your individual goals and circumstances.
