Question

also, if i was wrong about masters = mba, then what is MBA?

3) whats the difference between BA and BS if i were to major in finance?

Answer 1

1. There's not a lot of difference in that a lot of the classes overlap. Business management prepares you to go into the work force earlier. Business Admin prepares you for your MBA and even higher education, and Finance means that is the area you want to specialize in.

2. A Masters in Business Admin is called a MBA which stands for what is sounds like Masters of Business Adminstration. A master is finance is a MSF which means Master of Science in Finance.

3. A BA is a Bachelors of Art and a BS is Bachelor of Science. The BS is more intense study in your field then the BA and is better for job hunting. The BA is broader study.

Answer 2

1. Business and Business Administration are the same thing. Finance is a subfield of business. Other subfields include accounting, marketing, operations research, organizational behavior and strategy.

2. An MBA is a professional degree that involves the study of all areas of business. You can get an MBA and only take one finance class -- or you can get an MBA and take a lot of finance classes. Some MBA programs allow you to have a concentration -- so you could ge tan MBA with a concentration in finance.

Some schools offer an MS in Finance or a MFE -- Masters of Financial Engineering. These are usually one year courses that only include finance and finance related courses. They are usually more mathematical than the MBA. Technically, an MS in Finance is considered an academic rather than a professional degree. Some schools will give an MS to people who fail to complete a PhD program in Finance.

3. There is very little difference between a BA in Finance and a BS in Finance. At some schools, BA students are required to take more liberal arts classes and BS students are required to take more science classes -- but they are really equivalent degrees

Answer 3

I agree with the above answers. Suffice it to add that MBAs come with different specializations, including Finance, so there is an overlapping between the different designations. Also, masters of finance degrees are not as common as MBAs and tend to be quite competitive. The CFA designation is a good substitute for a masters in finance and/or even an MBA.

Answer 5

1) Bussiness is aimed at understand how bussinesses operate and interact. Business administration focuses on the running and organizing of businesses and finance focuses on finacial aspects of business. Finance is commonly viewed as the most useful.
2) Any major that falls under the business classifacation (all that you named) get an Masters in Business Administration. or MBA
3) BA means bachelor of arts and BS means bachelors of sciences. Those are determined by your institution and in your case would have no effect. You have no control over that.

Answer 6

a level in small business enterprise administration or maybe business enterprise administration... yet with a eating place, you particularly do not opt for a level desirable away. in case you have plans of enlargement, properly you could think of of that as quickly as the time comes.
