Hello,
I am graduating from NKU in the spring. I will have my bachelors in IT with a cyber security focus. I was curious if there are any companies around the Greater Cincinnati area that offer good internships/co ops for recent graduates in information security or related field?
I’m a recent business graduate considering starting NKU’s Master of Science in Information Systems – Business Analytics program this fall, and I’m hoping to hear from anyone who has completed the program or is currently enrolled.
My background is in business/marketing with minors in MIS and Business Analytics. I’ve taken courses in SQL, databases, analytics, and programming, and I’m interested in moving into more of a marketing analytics/market research/consumer insights career.
The program I’m looking at is 30 credit hours and can be completed in as little as 12 months. It covers things like SQL, Tableau, R, and Oracle.
I’m mainly trying to figure out whether the degree is actually worth the time and ~$18k cost, especially compared with going straight into a full-time job.
A few things I’d really like to know:
How difficult is the program, especially for someone coming from a business background?
How much actual technical/analytics work is involved?
What did you think of the professors/courses?
Did the program help you get internships or full-time jobs?
What types of jobs did you or your classmates get afterward?
Do employers seem to value the degree?
Is completing it in 12 months realistic while working?
Looking back, would you do the program again?
I’d especially appreciate hearing from recent/current students rather than just general opinions about NKU.
Thanks!
