Hi,
I’m a senior majoring in accounting in UIUC. I’m thinking about either extending one more semester to get a Finance degree or getting into accounting master program directly.
If I extend one more semester, I’ll have more time to prepare for CPA exams and probably will let me find a job sooner.
If I get into MAS program, I’ll need to do more cases and projects. But probably a master degree will help me find a job more easily? with a higher salary?
If you guys are in my position, which will you choose?
- 4.5 years undergraduate education (triple majors on accounting, actuarial science and finance) plus a NYU online accounting certificate. graduate in winter
- 4+1 BS/MAS program (dual bachelors on accounting and actuarial science) graduate in summer
Which one will be more helpful in terms of finding a good job?
Thank you!!
