5 years master program or B.A.

<p>So i got into a 5 years master's program at quinnipiac university, and i also got into Bentley University. Im trying to decide if a masters at quinnipiac would be better than a bachelors at bentley university. im the oldest girl in my family, so my parents and i have no clue what to do. PLEASE HELP which one do i choose!?</p>

<p>Can you afford both?</p>

<p>What type of 5 year program?
What would you get your bachelors in?</p>

<p>yeah i can afford both
i would get a bachelors in finance/ and the masters program would give me a bachelors in finance as well as a MBA</p>

<p>If you change your mind about the 5 th year, how hard would it be for you to change that program to a simple BA?</p>

<p>im not all too sure, but im guessing it would be easy</p>

<p>Have you looked at the total cost of each of these programs? Can your family afford both of them?</p>

<p>i mean not really, but lets take money out of the equation… which one would best set me up for a good future with jobs?</p>

<p>You can’t take money out of the equation. Sorry.</p>

<p>Sit down with your parents and the various calculators at [FinAid</a>! Financial Aid, College Scholarships and Student Loans](<a href=“http://www.finaid.org%5DFinAid”>http://www.finaid.org) and crunch the numbers. Contact the career centers at each place and ask about placement for finance majors.</p>

<p>The better MBA programs require several years of increasingly responsible work history for admissions. Many employers have tuition benefits. You may be better off waiting to complete the MBA.</p>

<p>^ and Bently is a much better business school in my opinion, with a better location for jobs and internships which is paramount in the business industry</p>

<p>Personally I’d go to Bentley as it is the better business school. If you really want, I believe that Bentley also have a 5 year MBA program which you can apply to once you are there. From my experience, most 5 year MBA’s don’t carry that much weight – it is considered preferable (and the top MBA programs require) that you get some practical work experience in before going on for a graduate degree.</p>

<p>THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE!! these suggestions have helped me a lot!</p>
