What's is the difference between Master of Accounting and MBA/Accounting

What's is the difference between Master of Accounting and MBA/Accounting? I'm thinking of completing my studies, what do you recommend? Higher Education (University +) - 2 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 MBA/Accounting is a double-major... clearly it is much better to have 2 majors than 1... but if you're getting an MBA, why are you even bothering getting an accounting degree? you'll be making 3x more using your MBA than you accounting degree... just get an MBA and forget about accounting... 2 Mater of Science in Accounting is an advanced accounting degree beyond the bachelors of Science in accounting. Typically it consists of a year of concentrated study in accounting beyond the bachelors courses, usually leading to a CPA, which in most states requires 30 hours of graduate work beyond the BS. The MBA is a Master in Business Administration, usually consisting of two year of study of general business courses, intended for graduates with any undergraduate degree who have several years of work experience after graduation and want to gain management positions. MBA in accounting does not exist. Nor does MBA in finance, or MBA in marketing, or MBA in anything else. The MBA is a terminal degree in business administration. MBA programs may have a concentration in accounting, or another field, which usually means two or three elective courses in the field in the second year, but the students still earn a master in business administration, regardless of concentration. Before you decide on an MBA program explore the Internet for information on available programs. There is a lot of information available in free public service sites. Some sites are limited to specific countries, such as Germany, UK, or Australia. Some list a small number of select schools, while others may include more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. You can find the program that best fits you. You can search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by type of degree (MBA, MS, Ph.D). In some cases you can select your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. You can find data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees such as MBA/JD, and much more. Some sites have links to the schools' web sites, or provide email addresses to contact schools of your choice, and send them pre-applications. You can find lists of top schools ranked by various periodicals or ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. Generally you should stay away from any sites that require you to pay to get information or that promise to find scholarships for you or ensure acceptance into a program. Before you provide any personal information to a site, be sure to read their privacy policy and make sure they are not harvesting email addresses for sale.
