Which degree is more suitable for information systems / IT business/systems analyst roles?
Hey there, currently completing an IT degree but want to shift focus to information systems. I'm just getting a bit confused as there seems to be alot of overlap and I'm not sure which is more practical.
I'm looking at any of these three degrees

I appreciate any help and apologise if this is the wrong place to post this

I think deciding what exactly you want to do long term is the question you want to answer. They are ultimately the same. Why are you shifting to information systems? Do you want to work in information systems? Is there a demand in your area for any of these degrees? Which one will get you the best return on your investment? Which one do you find that is stimulating?
Long term is a hard one. I suspect that many peoples interest will change to a totally different area of IT. So honestly, They may be better off going with a general Comp Sci degree and go from there. Just my opinion though.
Very valid opinion. Things can change over time.
