<p>I'm only a freshman right now but I was wondering what the statistics were for Princeton's Bendheim Center for Finance. I was also curious as to whether a Masters is better/not as good as an MBA. As far as I know MBA's take 2 years so that seems to me that you would learn more and it would look better, but also, a 1 year Masters would get you into the workforce quicker. Any insight would be appreciated.</p>
<p>most of their students are old. many have master’s degree. a few have phd.
it’s generally tough to get onto the program, and if numbers are something you churn out, i’d advise you to take it rather than MBA.<br>
but if ms in finance is something you really fancy, princeton isn’t the only ideal place to be. in fact, i would rate berkeley-haas’ ms in financial engineering a more prestigious program. it also has a better employment record, although the quality of the students admitted at both schools are comparable to each other.</p>
<p>Thats a really helpful response I appreciate it. Of course I have quite a few years until I have to decide but thats good to know in the mean time.</p>
