Which state school? As mentioned elsewhere, sadly many CS masters programs are designed with the assumption that students already have solid foundations from undergrad CS, but now are often admitting people without those skills. Also cheating is unbelievably rampant at many state schools (I say this from witnessing it first hand). Lastly, all the MIS programs I'm familiar with are a sad joke. Often the result of a turf war between a business school and the engineering school, the MIS department is often incredibly weak on the technical side.
