Hi guys - Here's the thing. I'm looking for a Masters degree program in Quality Assurance. It could be an MBA program like this: http://www.uiu.edu/catalogs/eu/grad_mba_2.html#qualMan or it could be a different type of Masters, like this: http://www.csudh.edu/msqa/ It has to be cheap. C-H-E-A-P ! I am not averse to non-USA programs. I want something generic. NOT an IT QA thing (no offense guys, I'm just going in a different direction). I want to be able to generalize. Maybe jump to the medical field (by the way, a little side list of bioinformatics programs wouldn't hurt). I'm working my way through Jonnies list of MBA programs but I keep getting sidetracked into trying to find out the name of their sports mascot and whether they've got a good track&field program, you know, the usual stuff. Any and all info is appreciated.
Hey, I gotta tell ya that I like the idea of having a Masters degree in Decision Science. It just sounds good. d-e-c-i-s-i-o-n-s-c-i-e-n-c-e. http://www.unisa.ac.za/default.asp?Cmd=ViewContent&ContentID=1503
Not sure about prices, but some options; Eastern Michigan University - http://www.ce.emich.edu/quality/ Southern Polytechnic State U. (Georgia) - http://www.msqa.edu/ Sheffield Hallam U. (U.K.) - http://prospectus.shu.ac.uk/op_pglookup1.cfm?id_num=121&status=TN Upper Iowa U. - http://www.uiu.edu/catalogs/eu/grad_mba_3.html#objQM
I highly recommend the CSUDH MSQA - it has served me well (I concentrated on testing and reliability). The MSQA is offered in either industrial or service areas. It is offered as an external degree which allows the department to hire people from local companies to teach courses. This also means that one can't take advantage of CA resident tuition rates. CSUDH also offers a BSQA. SJSU also offers the same degree (Although I'm not sure if it is available on-line) http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/catalog/departments/TECH-section-8.html There is an on-line Ph.D. program in Quality Systems offered by Indiana State University http://www1.indstate.edu/consortphd/schedule/quality.html They appear to offer masters degrees also but the web site links do not work
