    Hi, everyone,

    I have been reading the forums for input on a masters and finally decided to join when I saw a program that really interested me. I really appreciate all advice and comments!

    A little about me, I'm 23, have 2 years of software testing experience, currently working fulltime. My B.S. is in psychology because I found psychology interesting. I don't particularly like coding/programming but these programs I have looked at do not seem to require excellent coding skills. I was previously looking at an MIS masters because I lack coding experience/skill so a CS masters would be very difficult for me. I really like software engineering because to me it sounds much more reputable than a MIS. My career goal right now is to be a project manager or a product manager so I might be interested in an MBA in 5-10 years so right now I want to get technical credibility.

    So here is my list that I've come up with and I'd really like to narrow it down to make sure they are accredited, affordable, and reputable. Any input on the difficulty of getting accepted and completing these programs is appreciated as well.

    Thanks!
