    @@tehczavier Makes sense. I only went for a masters to open up management role. You do not really need a masters to get into management. I my self was already a manager with only a bachelors. However, there are some manger role that require a masters. As for a project management certification I would recommend the PMP. If your lean more towards agile project management I would also recommend the PMI-ACP or the CSM/PSM.

    Question: do you need to pass any certifications like the ITIL in the Business Admin IT Management degree? I saw people saying the Business- IT applications course required that cert for the cybersecurity program and making sure that’s not the case in this program. I’m about to start and I’m so nervous so any info you have is greatly appreciated 👌🏾

    The ITIL Cert doesn't apply to this degree--trust me I tried. But if you're taking a more technical degree program, then it does apply.
