concentrations apart from these three
concentrations Kelly School of
businesses Information Systems degree
also has Capstone projects case
competitions and internships overall a
fantastic degree that has enabled a lot
of our previous graduates to to work at
companies like deoe KPMG Accenture and a

at number four I have the University of
Texas at Austin this is one of the most
versatile Information Systems degrees
that you can find only one core course
which is a three credit course out of
the 36 credits that are required to
graduate 30 credits are from the
electives out of which 12 can be taken
from outside the information systems
degree itself so you can essentially
take up as many computer science courses
that you can fit in that 12 credit take
another 16 to 18 credits within the core
information systems degree and be able
to do a lot more in terms of Capstone
internships or a thesis as well with all
of these options available for you UT

let's get back to the rest of the three
Information Systems degrees at number
three I have everybody's favorite
University of Washington at Seattle with
Seattle being such a high opportunity
Zone with companies like Amazon
Microsoft and a bunch of other startups
being placed out of University of
Washington's I school information School
Masters of Science and information
management is the degree that I'm
putting at the number three spot it has
a requirement of about 65 credits and
keep in mind we are only recommending
the early career res residential program
which is 65 credits in 2 years or lesser
it is for folks with less than 5 years
of workx which is going to be the
majority of you guys out of the 65
credits you have the ability to pursue
two specializations at least two
specializations let me put it that way
amongst a bunch of things that you can
do apart from the specializations
there's also the availability of CPT for
you to do an internship there's also the
availability of Capstone for you to find
a project either within school or
outside of school and be able to do that
in terms of the specializations
University of Washington offers a
business intelligence a data science
user experience program or product
management information architecture and
information and cyber security a bunch
of different specializations and every
single student that's getting in can
choose up to two of these
specializations all of the curriculum
and other details are in the descript
destion box below we'll also link you to
the website for the same one of my
favorite programs given the location the
structure of the program and the fact
that a project at any one of these
places is a shortshot way for you to
make it to some of the best companies
within information systems at program
number two for information systems
management my pick is my alma matter
kaniki melon kaniki melan's Information
Systems from the highend school is one
of the best if not the best Masters in
information systems that you can do
class sizes are a little on the higher
end about 350 kids in each class but
that's across multiple different flavors
of the program that are available don't
let the huge class sides dissuade you
because every single one of these guys
that graduates from an information
systems course is able to find
employment at companies like Amazon
Microsoft Facebook which is now meta um
Uber a bunch of Technology consulting
firms banking industry and everywhere
the vast Alumni network that you will
build out of Kani melan in general and
the hind School in particular should be
enough for you to find a referral and
therefore a job from any one of these
places that I talked about for those of
you who are interested in knowing which
flavor of the program we're recommending
we're recommending the 16-month general
program if you're coming from a
background of software engineering and
soft ware development and if you're
coming from a background of data
analytics the 16-month with the business
intelligence and data analytics
specialization that's the one that we're
putting at number two in our list of
Masters of Information Systems programs
keep in mind that in order to crack the
Kani melan mism program a quantitative
background is highly preferred you don't
have to just be an engineer you could be
someone who's taken math or statistics
or economics during your undergrad but
they absolutely Ely do prefer a
quantitative background the average GPA
has been around the 3.5 3.6 mark on a
scale of four with the average GRE
quantitative around the 162 to 164 162
164 on the quantitative section of the G
at number one is the University of
California Berkeley's information
systems program the reason why this is
on the number one position is because of
the location the heritage of the school
the diversity in the classroom that you
will be able to see as well as the
rigorous curriculum there is at the
university the Berkeley program is
offered by the I school with you needing
about 48 units to graduate over the
2-year course in general the class size
has fluctuated between 50 and 70 with
the average GPA of about 3.5 on a scale
of four but here is the kicker the
average work experience of folks that
have made it in in is usually on the
higher side so if you're coming in with
at least 3 to four years of workex this
would be the perfect program for you the
average work experience for someone
who's gotten into the Berkeley program
is about four five years and so if you
don't have that much workex might not
make sense for you to apply the average
age again given the work experience is
about 24 25 um which again is another
criteria you want to keep in mind if
you're applying to the Berkeley Mis
program one of the biggest advantages of
Berkeley is the fact that it's very very
close to the Silicon Valley of course it
has access to every company that's based
out of the Bay Area and that's where
most of the graduates usually go on to
work one of the other advantages of the
Berkeley graduate program in Information
Systems is the fact that there is no
quantitative requirement as such I've
had folks with non-quantitative
backgrounds like history psychology Etc
also get in and so that becomes comes an
interesting virtue or diversity within
the program itself that concludes our
top five Berkeley Kani melon University
of Washington University of Texas at
Austin and Indiana University apart from
these five there are two other degrees
that you should absolutely consider if
you're applying to a master's in
information systems program number six
would be University of Illinois Urbana
champagne very very close to Chicago
absolutely fantastic campus also very
very good in terms of the I school and
the program itself um the program has 40
credits and there are only three
required courses everything else is
electives so you could choose electives
from the I School itself or go on to the
Computer Science school and take up as
many electives as you want to my number
seven pick will be the Texas A&M
University at colge station 36 credits
and an average GPA of 3.5 this should be
on everyone's list who's looking for a
lowc cost low tution fee sort of a
university that concludes my top five
plus two Information Systems degrees for
you guys at gradine we've had the
pleasure of guiding hundreds of students
to almost all of these courses make sure
to schedule a free consultation and let
me know in the chat box or the
description box or the comment section
below what sort of videos you would like
from us till the next time stay tuned
