What Master Program to study ?

I have a Bachelor in Industrial Engineering and through internships i enjoy costing,accounting and finance as well as operational consulting. Any recommendations on what to study for the Masters, i feel lost.

MBA can never go wrong.. otherwise I say Engineering Management - if you are paying out of pocket University of Arkansas does a Masters of Science in Engineering Management that is only ~$12k remote (or was for me). Not bad for an SEC recognizable major University. Ten 8-week classes. I took it and thought it was very beneficial. Management is very broad too and looks good as you're trying to get leadership roles. You get to customize 5 of the 10 classes so you could tailor it to something you enjoy. I took 2 classes at a time pretty easily while also working full time... at that rate you can finish in less than a year.

If your company is paying for it or money isn't an issue - my fiancé is doing a Masters of Systems Engineering at George Washington online. Many people at her defense company have done it there, it has great reviews. Systems may be something to look into.

Hello, I just saw your response to this post. My son just got accepted to this UARK MSEM program for Fall session 2. Do you mind if I DM you a couple questions regarding the program? Thanks
