<p>Hello there, I'm going to the University of Florida as an accounting major. I am considering applying for the combined MSF program where an MSF is completed in the four years.</p>
<p>An MSF is somewhat redundant with an MBA, but I really want to apply to MBA programs down the line. </p>
<p>If I were to do this combined program, would I not be able to get into MBA programs because the people looking at my application would think it to be silly?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if it will hurt your MBA application personally. With an MSF degree, it is very focused and specialized in finance. Typically, MSF programs are geared to students who have limited work experience, but want a career in finance. Just because you start in finance doesn’t mean you have to stay in finance. When you are ready and thinking about applying to an MBA, you will not only have the work experience needed, but also you will have proven success in a business program at a master level. An MBA is a general management degree, so having a strength in an area such as finance, should enhance your contributions to class and teamwork.</p>
<p>An MSF will make you hate an MBA. Get an MSF, go to work and you might find that there is no need for an MBA later down the road. Florida has a great program, really developed placements and pipeline.</p>
