MSF right out of undergrad?

Graduate School Business School - MBA
1

<p>I am currently an economics major at a top 20 school. I eventually want to do something related to finance, though I’m not exactly sure what. I also want to get my MBA in the long run, but I know that you need work experience for that first. I am looking at possibly getting a Master’s in Finance, but have a few questions:</p>

<li><p>Is it common for people to enter MSF programs right out of undergrad? Or do the top MSF schools typically look for work experience in applicants?</p></li>
<li><p>Is MSF a beneficial degree or am I better off just going straight into the workforce and focusing on getting my MBA?</p></li>
<li><p>Are there any particular courses you need to enter an MSF program? I am minoring in Finance (we only have a minor) and possibly Math.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Any other pertinent information about MSF programs would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p>
