baruch does not offer MBA in accouting with accounting majors...:(..

why don't you go with regular Mba OR MBA with a different contentration other than accounting. if you did accounting in bachelor then it looks redundant. if you take MBA in finance or marketing, it shines on your resume. it shows diverfication.

 @dolphin-  Thank you for the info....seems like a good idea...what kind of job can I apply for If I do MBA in Finance after having Bachelors in Accounting? It is just too much to choose from...confused...any suggestion would be greatly  appreciated...

All of them are expensive.. try University of Phoenix.. its all online and they provide you student loan as well

In most instances, if you don't get your MBA from top 10 programs, it will not result in significant bump to your career.  Perhaps, a graduate program in Accounting or Finance might behoove you.

yes, Nepali american is correct. doing MBA will definitely give booast to your career and you should do it regardless of anyything but doing from top 15 would give you a turbo boost (that is it will give you a good headstart).

Thank you all for your insight.. since I already have Bachelors in Accounting.. which one would be better?? MBA in accounting or MBA in Finance.. Since, Baruch wont allow me to do MBA in accounting since I already have bachelors in accouting.. what is the career prospect, if I do masters in Finance?? Thank you all again..

how many years of work experience do you have ?

dolphin · Jul 25, 2012 4:34 PM

I have 1 year on Internship in University as Office Accountant Assistant. And right now, I am working in Construction Company as an Accountant for 1 year and 2 months (current employee)...

MBA in accounting doesn't make much sense to me as you already have a BS in it. Instead, if you wanna excel in accounting go for CPA or else MBA finance is always a reputed degree compared to any other genres.....getting certified like CPA or CFA would matter more than adding degrees...good luck...

i would suggest you work few more years and save as much money as you can and then target a good school. getting admitted into MBA without sufficent work experience is tough though possible. as bobj suggested, CPA is a good start.
