Maybe. I learned a long time ago that degrees mean nothing. One of my best hires had no degree at all. Another had one in education. However, all things being equal, I would go for the candidate with a masters in CS over one in IT. I probably would prefer a musician. I know this is unreasonable, but I tend to regard business sounding degrees as the triumph of form over substance.
Also, is there a difference in quality or reputation between the two schools?

- russell 18y agoMany, many moons ago RPI was on my list of schools. I have never heard of CCS. Based on way out of date perceptions I would suggest RPI. If you can get into Yale or the like, it may be cheaper than RPI because liberal scholarships.
- chiffonade 18y agoEducation aside, degrees are useful for determining if someone went to college. If you went to college too, you have something to talk about - 4 years of shared similar experiences during a very formative period in your life. This is very useful in business and life. Only some kind of sociopath would not see the value in this.
