My Masters was in Industrial Engineering with an Information Systems emphasis from the very same USC. I got it in 1989, but a lot of class titles still look familiar.

For the best job prospects, I’d go with the Computers option. I personally found the Operations classes to be more interesting, but there are a lot more computer-oriented jobs out there than operations-oriented jobs.

I find the straight ISE degree to be almost obsolete, in that it’s very focused on manufacturing and logistics. There aren’t as many jobs like that as there used to be.
