Hi all I had a quick question I was hoping someone could help with:
I am currently enrolled in a ABET accredited non ranked BSIE program for a 2nd bachelors (1st was in psychology). My school has expressed that since I have a psych degree I can go into the Human Factors MSIE program. And once in, if I want, I can change my focus (say to OR).
Also,
I was recently accepted into a top 10 BSIE Program.
I will have 2 years left either way and I was wondering which is the better option for a solid foundation and future. What will look best to an employer? Is it better to have a non ranked MS , or to have the top 10 BS?
Any opinion would be great!
Also, is switching once in the MS normal, or something like a loophole?
Thanks for any help!

Let me get this straight. You can spend two more years to get a BSIE, or, spend the same amount of time to get a MSIE. Seems like a no brainer to me, unless the MSIE program is so specific, it precludes you from getting into a job you are interested in. It seems unlikely though.
As for the "top ten" school, you schould know that studies show that more expensive schools do not equate with a better education. Your success depends more on your own drive than where you went to school.
The only thing I would add is that certain companies actively recruit from some schools. I would at least do some research into this, if you have several options before you.
Good Luck!
