MBA vs. Master of Accounting?

Graduate School Business School - MBA
1

<p>I'm looking to become a Financial Analyst but to do so I need a degree in finance or accounting, in another thread someone suggested I go with a master of accounting from CSU Fullerton. If I did do this I would save a ton of money and time but would it give me the same benefit as someone who has an MBA with a concentration in Finance from a well ranked school like UC Irvine or USC? </p>

<p>Also, by going to CSU Fullerton I'll be eligible for finance internships which means I could, in theory, get 3 years of finance experience in internships so when I graduate I can fulfill the work experience requirement most employers ask for, is this right or do they not care about internships?</p>

<p>What is your undergrad in?</p>

<p>Most Master of Accounting programs are a year long from what I have seen. Not sure how you think you could get 3 years of finance experience via internships. </p>

<p>What is your previous work experience? If you have little to none, an MBA isn’t really an option and isn’t a good choice.</p>
