<p>Kelley lists these two choices for Accounting grad prodrams. Any thoughts on which is better?</p>
<p>I think this largely depends upon whether you plan to have a career in tax, or teach accounting–in which case the MSA would be preferable–or whether you plan to go into a general business area (or start in accounting with an eye to moving into consulting or general management)–in which case the MBA would probably be preferable.</p>
<p>My friend (who just got his 3+2 from Kelley) said that the MBA is more general and will help in the long run for moving up the coorporate ladder. He said the MSA focuses mainly on passing the CPA.</p>
