Thanks for the info, I think I may go with the MBA IT specialization, I guess it won't hurt and if I find I've painted myself into a career corner I guess I can always drop the specialization from my resume. Looking at the course material pivot tables in excel don't appear to be a core competency, but it does focus heavily on MS Project. Is that widely used? When I was actually managing a large deployment project, we used sharepoint for the project management stuff, but that was at huge company too, not sure anything that big is actually in Utah. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
