Well rounded?

Hello everyone. I need some opinions. I have been going to school for some time and will have a second associate degree this spring, this time in Networking Technology. I've been looking to start my bachelors sometime next summer, but I'm unsure about my options. I've narrowed it down to either an online program out of Fort Hays State University in Networking and Telecommunications or pursue a business degree with an emphasis in Information Systems out of the University of Colorado (I live 10 minutes away from the school). I figure with the Networking program, I'd get a lot of technical knowledge and know-how out of it, while the Business program would help me to become well rounded in terms of management and business potential in the IT world. Any thoughts about how I should decide? I will already have 6 years of IT/WAN experience when I get out of the military (and I just made the Sgt stripe...so management opportunities are everywhere) and I'm currently studying for CCNA. Any thoughts? Thanks everyone!

I read on your post about the Fort Hays State University. And I am really seriously considering enrolling for that networking degree.. I am going to try and finish my degree

Is that Fort Hays a publicly funded school like UCLA, tuition and privately funded like Harvard, or tuition and stock market funded (I get a kick out of that, there more a corporation than a school) like University of Phoenix? I have been toying with getting a second bachelors or a masters, and networking would be my focus, but I will only do it through a publically funded school. I checked out their website, but that didnt get me my answer, and that degreeinfo.com site drives me nuts.

Yes, it is a state funded school and you must meet the transfer or Kansas student requirements to obtain admission.

I graduated with my A.A.S degree in Networking Specialist in 2002 and went it to a job right away. But now I have seen that all of the newer jobs being posted is that you need at least a Bachelors Degree. I have multiple certifications and 4 years of work experience but while I am pursuing my CCNP certification it will also be a good idea to transfer into FHSU and finish up the degree. Maybe after that start taking classes towards the Masters. I just want my future employees to see that I want to better myself not only with certifications but also in my education.
