What type of MBA concentration would be best for me?

<p>Currently I am in undergraduate majoring in Accounting, and plan on staying the "fifth year" and trying to earn my CPA.</p>

<p>Regardless, I plan on going to graduate business school, but rather than mastering in accounting, I've been considering other routes.</p>

<p>I've been looking around but I haven't been able to find a nice laundry list of the different concentrations beyond just Finance and Accounting.</p>

<p>I've always been interested in transportation planning (similar to Urban planning), but on a business level--things like producing strategic outlines, scheduling routes, planning deliveries, transport, all in a cost-effective manner.</p>

<p>Honestly, I don't even know if such jobs existed, such as with airlines or in the public sector (airport/railway management). Is there a particular concentration in graduate business school that would be connect me to such a career, or are such jobs flukes and require connections?</p>

<p>I mean, I would think every business would need someone to do such a job. A family member of mine tossed out the word Logistics. Is that essentially what I'm thinking of?</p>

<p>Any help?</p>

<p>Thanks,
James</p>

<p>Sounds like supply chain or logistics. Would be a good career choice, but I would advise against getting an MBA. If you truly do want a management education look at a Masters in Management or something similar. The MBA really is for people with a good amount of work experience and it is something you want to save until later on in your career.</p>
