CIS/CS Certificates

[mysonx3]

Essentially what I am wanting to do is add "breadth" like you said, since CS/CIS is totally unrelated to my degree. I understand it won't really move the needle much, but the way I see it is that if I do it at the same time as my degree, it's an extremely cheap/free credential that shows a broad base of skills learning.

Merlin, as a hiring manager, do you see a comparative advantage between CS/CIS (understanding, of course, that you don't see much advantage at all in the certificate)? In other words, would you see one as more valuable?
