Thread: MBA - Accounting

I'm looking for a good school for getting an MBA in accounting . I am willing to do the GMAT, online or offline (I live in New York), so was looking at schools like Baruch.

Master of Science (MS) in Accountancy — Zicklin School Of Business - Baruch College - CUNY

My background is in Finance, but my real world experience in Finance is very minimal. I am willing to take the GMAT's as well, but not sure how well I'd score, as I haven't picked up a book in years so I better study hard.

What are the best schools within a low budget. Looking to spend less than $20,000 for the MBA .

It's not a DL program, but otherwise Columbia's EMBA program meets all of those criteria. It's an Ivy League School, in NYC, and you'll pay a LOT of money for your education . Classes meet Fri/Sat or Saturdays only depending on your program, and you're granted a lot of flexibility - up to 5 years to complete the degree, take classes from the full-time program if you like, plus there is an international residency. Only $155K.

IMO, most of the time, an ivy league education is a waste of money. HOWEVER, I think that accounting is one field where an ivy league degree might help you, especially if you wanted to get into one of the high end accounting or financial firms.

Yep. Just graduated from there. Very good program although undergrad knowledge is assumed. Your classmates are mostly young CPA 's at firms. Very few industry folks which means you need to be on your GAAP early and often.

	Accounting Degrees Accounting Degrees Accountants and auditors help to ensure that firms are run efficiently, public records kept accurately, and taxes paid properly and on time. They analyze and communicate financial information for various entities such as companies, individual clients, and Federal, State, and local governments. Beyond carrying out the fundamental tasks of the occupation—providing information to clients by preparing, analyzing, and verifying financial documents—many accountants also offer budget analysis, financial and investment planning, information technology consulting, and limited legal services. Specific job duties vary widely among the four major fields of accounting and auditing: public accounting, management accounting, government accounting, and internal auditing. •Most jobs require at least a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field. •Job opportunities should be favorable; those who have earned professional recognition through certification or licensure, especially a CPA, should enjoy the best prospects. •Much-faster-than-average employment growth will result from an increase in the number of businesses, changing financial laws and regulations, and greater scrutiny of company finances.
