It is a lot like going to the gym: You will get the most out of it if and only if you rigorously follow a reputable plan.

Ideally, search various jobs to get an idea of salary range, look at the educational requirements (if any), and then work backwards from there.

Aside from that piece of paper, you can also use your time there to practice various relevant skills: managing, leading, presenting, training, guiding, organizing, evaluating, etc.

It would be a better use of your time to build yourself up outside of the prescribed curriculum since any idiot can get a degree, but a safer bet is one who can demonstrate and adapt their expertise to various situations.
