"I hereby retire from Mafia"
Please turbo me if you catch me in a game.
I haven't begun putting serious thought into pursuing an MBA yet (25, newly married, looking for a house, broke) but I can feel the urge coming in the future. I received my BS in Computer Science at Georgia State University 2 years ago, and have been working as a Systems Administrator for a little over a year now. I love it, but I also love finance and project management and figure I would be a good fit to move up into an IT management position eventually.

I glanced at the GSU Robinson College of Law website today and noticed they have a 1 year MS-MIT program that looks good for me and I had some questions relating to this and MBAs in general.

Will an MS-MIT be as well/better regarded as a standard MBA inside the IT world? Outside?
Is GSU's business school as good as its reputation around Atlanta is whether I get this or an MBA later? I see the words "Top Ten" thrown around a lot on their website.
Is it typically easier to get into a business school at your Alma Mater?

The program cost is $39,500 inclusive of tuition/books/meals(Meals? For a 1 year course that only meets on campus every other Saturday?). I did just see it requires 5-8 years of experience in my field, so it looks like I won't be going anytime soon, but I want to be able to play ahead.
