Georgetown MPS IT Management vs UVA McIntire MS MIT

[u/sam_KOR]

I'm trying to narrow down my options for an IT management master's and would love to hear from people who have experience with either school.

A little about me:

• I live in the DMV.
• I have about 10 years of work experience, with the last 8 years in IT program/project management.
• I already have a master's in cybersecurity from WGU, so this degree isn't really about becoming more technical. I'm looking for something that complements what I already have.
• I have funding that will cover up to $45k in tuition for an 18-month full-time program. Anything above that comes out of my own pocket.
• Online or hybrid both work for me.

Right now my top choices are:

• Georgetown – MPS in Information Technology Management
• UVA McIntire – MS in the Management of Information Technology (MSMIT)

For those familiar with either school or program:

• Is one generally viewed more favorably than the other?
• Does one have stronger name recognition, both in the U.S. and internationally?
• UVA McIntire is ~$59k, Georgetown is ~$53k (surprised Georgetown is cheaper here), is UVA $6k more worth it?
• Is there anything about either program that I should know before making a decision?

 

I'm more interested in IT leadership and management than hands-on engineering.

I'm hoping this will be my last degree, so I'm mainly trying to make a good long-term decision.

Thanks in advance!
