<p>I just finished my first-year undergrad and I am a bit confused by the degrees offered by business schools.</p>
<p>Do business schools offer the MBA as their only master's degree?</p>
<p>Thanks a bunch.</p>
<p>Some also have an MS in finance, accounting, marketing, and/or a MAccountancy. Howeer, the MS degrees are more theory and academic in nature where the MBA is more practical and applicable to the professional environment.</p>
<p>Ahh, I see. Thanks.</p>
<p>I am particularly interested in the Ivy League Business Schools. Do they offer the MS degrees as well? I was recently on the Harvard Business School and Wharton sites and couldn't find any master's degree programs other than the MBA.</p>
<p>HBS doesn't offer any master's degrees besides the MBA. Wharton offer an M.Sc., but only to those people who are in their PhD programs. </p>
<p>MITSloan seems to be the B-school that is the most prevalent in offering MS degrees (actually "SM" degrees in MIT parlance).</p>

<p>Actually, aren't all MIT Master's titled SM, including those in the social sciences and humanities? I remember looking at their Political Economy graduate program and it was an SM. Heck, I think even the Spanish one, too. Not necessarily a B-school degree, but if your goal in life is to get a Master of Science, well, why not do it in art history;).</p>

<p>Well, no. The Sloan MBA is an MBA. MIT also offers MEng, MArch (Master of Architecture) and MCP (Master in City Planning) degrees. </p>
<p>I am not aware that MIT has a program in which you can get a graduate degree in "Political Economy", Spanish, or Art History. You can, however, get an SM in Media Arts and Sciences, Media Technology, or in Visual Studies.</p>
