Is it worth getting a masters in Health Systems?
So I'm a rising senior industrial engineering major and going to graduate in spring 2027. I'm really interested in the healthcare/medical aspect of IE and want my career to be in that industry. I was wondering if its worth getting a masters in Health Systems (given by the IE school of my uni) or just try focusing on getting my entry level job in a healthcare company?
Right now, I'm gonna do a summer internship at an energy company as an operations intern so I think I'll gain valuable skills that I can take to an operations role at like a hospital or something but also I feel like a health systems masters would give me more of an advantage.
I've heard from both sides that I should either juts focus on applying to healthcare companies or just get a masters so what do yall think?
