Good part time master's programs to build resume

EXAMPLE:

How is a masters in econ considered? Math? CompSci? Pharma? The point is to use the free time I have to get a general purpose degree to offset a weak ugrad GPA

Or is there a better way altogether?

Are you looking for programs in NYC exclusively so you can keep your existing position?

If you're willing to move, I would go to Boston and just go for the part time MSF at BC.

Otherwise (if you stay in NYC), I would caution on an overly quant program. How good at Math/CompSci are you? Not being a prestige-whore, but if you go to a less well-known school, it won't necessarily be a breeze and if you don't completely kill it at a school like that, I can only see it hurting you for the top MBA programs.

if youre interested in ER then a CFA would be useful

I woul also suggest you look at Columbia in their school of continuing education (which is geared towards working professionals)...they have a few MS programs that sound interesting / potentially relevant...like actuarial science, technology management, sports management, negotiations, etc.

although i'm not sure how the school of continuing education is regarded but the programs seem legit...more so that harvard's extension school which doesn't give you actual AM degrees but rather ALM degrees.

actuarial science is a complete bitch, do not take it. the only math tests milton friedman ever failed where in actuarial science.

With regard to your questions about other degrees, I would say Econ would be the best out of those listed in your second post for what you want to use it for. I have similar ambitions and have done a ton of research and Econ seems like the best route to me. Econ is more related to business and law than math, comp sci, etc. However, there is also diversity to think about, and those other subjects may help with that.

Anyway, I have seen several people from our small program get into IBanking. Obviously, as you have mentioned, its not on par with MSF/MFin or top MBAs in that regard, but you can still make some interesting network connections and attend info sessions/use campus recruiting/attend networking events. It obviously builds up the resume as well and a good GPA will convey intelligence.

WOW, thank you guys, I appreciate the advice! Any major changes are a few years away, but I want as many doors opened as possible. What programs did you guys do / look at...or do you know people who have done this as well?

Literally any additional info is helpful.....

I would like to suggest you to pursue MS in IT(Information Technology).The MS in Information Technology gives IT professionals a cross-functional perspective of information technology and its place in business operations. By learning the environment principles behind information technology and the business context in which IT decisions are made.

Since you are looking for lots of suggestions, I'll throw my 2 cents in and give you something off the beaten path.

I have a Msc in this, I got a 4.0 and I think it helped me get into b-school by overcoming my mediocre GPA. It is a distance learning program online so you could stay in New York. This field was invented at MIT and it is a reputable part of Sloan's mba curriculum as well as their PhD programs (google John Sterman, Jay Forrester). You said you are decent at programming and math so you'd be fine with no prior experience. The program is not that hard to get into. It gets very deep in terms of equation writing and modeling but the subject matter is extremely broad (public policy, economics, environmental sustainability, business competition). You could tailor your degree in a certain direction if you want, i.e. I chose economics. WPI is a well-respected institution.
