Hello everyone, I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Multimedia.
I am looking to further my education with either a Masters Degree or Graduate Certificate. I am very interested in improving my Web Development skills and Database skills.
I work in Center City Philadelphia and I have been looking at many different schools. La Salle university looks like it has a good Computer Information Systems masters program, but it is 100% online. Is this a safe bet? Not sure if online degrees are worth it.
I was also looking at Saint Joseph University, which offers a masters in computer science with a web and database track. Lastly, I was looking at getting a graduate certificate at the University of the Arts in Web Design & Web Development.
Does anyone know which career path would be the best bet. I just cant decide if a masters or a certificate it better. I would strongly appreciate the advice! Thanks, Tom
