I think it then all depends on you and how you define your research, if there is a thesis. If you have a good project, you will become the expert in something.....it all depends how you apply yourself then and what you apply it to. If you want to be an instructor or professor it would be valuable...but my question then would be, why not go straight to a Phd?
You learn business by doing. A business degree is useful but not really necessary either. 99% of business is sales. A good salesman gets his training in the school of hard knocks.
What can you do? Why would I hire you? Let's say that you have that degree, what benefit does the employer get out of it? When someone comes to me with a BS in Engineering, I know what I am getting. They can accomplish something. What does an interdiciplinary degree do for me?
Are you planning on entering the sales field? Chances are you don't need the degre at all. I have a brother that started out working in a sales office answering phones. He was astute enouph to watch what was happening and now work's the trade shows for them. He also has a nice life. Translation = Money and things that money can buy. He gives his employer value and he doesn't have a degree. I on the other hand am working on degree #2. But then I also give my employer value. I want you to tell me what value that your degree will bring to an employer.
If I had to translate that degree into something that a layperson could understand, I'd call it a "Jack of all trades" degree. It sounds like a life experience degree. Send me your money and I'll send you a certificate. ;-)
