2nd MBA and MBA Finance Vs MS Finance

by joefreddy » Sun Mar 30, 2008 9:20 am
I have already done my MBA from India and that was 5 years back. I am planning to do a MBA in Finance from US. Should I consider doing an MBA in Finance or consider doing MS in Finance.

Can you help me to choose ?
How are the job and career prospects for a MBA in finance compared to job and career prospects for a MS in Finance ?

Pls forgive me if I am repeating a question asked earlier ?

Dear joefreddy:

Many US MBA programs do not consider applicants that already have a MBA from another school. So, you will need to check with any school you are considering to determine whether or not you are eligible to apply. Likewise, MS in Finance programs may or may not consider your application depending on the curriculum of the degree you received in India.

As for career opportunities, the opportunities would differ by school and is something you will want to research. Generally speaking, MS programs have a larger percentage of students without professional work experience.
