Be aware that these things can often be inter-related, thus CompTIA's A+ and Network+ can count toward an MCSE...
If you go through the list of exams you will notice a fair bit of overlap. This is correct. It's pretty much a pick and mix. Basically four MCP's gets you your MCSA, another three and you're a MCSE. Depending on options, only another few and your also accredited with MCDBA, MCSD. Then bite the bullet for MCAD and MSCD.
Bear in mind also that these exams age! They aren't like a degree or a PhD, they are more like a licence, which you have to top up with new exams every so often...

And yes, I know the MS list is ugly. I'll sort it. Really though, this page will date fast so it's always best to go straight to Microsoft to see which exams are current.
