I am across this program and was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on it? My background is in compliance engineering and I will be getting into ISO audits this year. Thanks!  

RE: Masters in Quality Assurance - what do you think of this program?

It seems like a good mix of courses for a career in QA.  If I were in your shoes my biggest concern would be the major is kind of obscure.  A quick google search does not show very many schools that offer it.  If someone sees MSQA on your resume they might not regard it as highly as an MSEE or MBA which are more well known.

Yes, I agree. I guess it comes down to an MS or MBA. I have talked to a few people who have an MBA and although they don't use it in their job, it was a qualification necessary for them to move into a different role. I don't see the point of an MS for me as my job is already not very technical and I don't intend to go into design. Thanks.

For a qualification in quality, perhaps going to the ASQ would be a prudent start.

is a link to seeing what works for you in what you want to do.

When you mean you are getting into ISO audits, are you going to become an auditor for a company with ISO or are you going to be auditing companies (suppliers) who have/need ISO.  There are a lot of different levels to achieve and picking what you need right now is the most important next step to take.
