Paki re-inforce lang ang magiging decision ko.

My original plan was to get an MBA with emphases on HR. However, the University I have chosen does not offer such emphases. Having said that, I was offered to take the MA in Management instead. The advisor said that its the closest Master's degree they offer if I want to pursue an HR career. Their MBA has only one HR course and so does the MA.

Quick Facts:

MBA is 4 courses more than the MA in Management.

MBA is business oriented while MA Management is geared towards personnel management.

If I have to take the MA in Mgmt., I might also attend Califonia Polytechnic Univ. to get a Certificate in Human Resource Management to back up my HR career transition.

The school is on the Top 7 in Western Universities according to US News. This is one of the reason why I wanted to attend this school while working full time. In addition, JPL employees are attending this school as well.

The other option is to attend my F'n alma mater :sukaback: where they offer a Masters in Human Resource Management. They are not even on the top 50 schools in the western region.

My concern is that the MA in Mgmt degree holder may be perceived as inferior compared to MBA. The advisor reassured me that "a masters is a masters degree. Your experience, passion, and performance is what matters most after you get your Masters."
