Indiana 3/2 mba or masters program

<p>After doing some research on Indiana university Kelly school of business, I stumbled upon a 3/2 program that you can apply for to get an MBA in finance or masters in accounting. I would be more interested in the MBA in finance in order to spend a year less on tuition and avoid halting my career 2-4 years after graduation. Do any of you know about or know anyone in this program who can attest to its value? I would like to start in post MBA (non entry level) positions at graduation if i did this program, would that be possible? Thanks, here is the link to the site if you haven't heard of it.</p>

<p>You can get a good idea of the internships and current positions of 3/2 mba graduates by looking at the Linkedin profiles of 3/2 grads from the class of 2012. Just about all of the grads have Linkedin entries.</p>

<p>The large majority of 3/2 mbas at Kelley are accounting majors. They actually do not start at salaries any higher than the MSA masters and even the undergraduate IU accounting majors.</p>

<p>The regular mba students make much more after graduation:

<p>I could not find any statistics on starting salaries for 3/2 mba students who concentrate on finance as opposed to accounting. I’m guessing they would get mostly entry level positions, and that the top-level undergrads in finance at IU probably get higher starting salaries than the average 3/2 mba finance students, so it is difficult to see a huge benefit to the 3/2 mba finance program, except that the summer internship opportunities may be greater than the 3/2 finance students, although the top ugrads also have many quality finance internship opportunities, too.</p>
