2nd degree in finance or MA in management?

I am doing a liberal arts major and I graduate spring 2016. So I'm thinking about going to do a second degree in finance or doing a MA in management. I think there is also a masters in finance where I have to take some prerequisites but didn't do much research. Don't want to take all the prerequisites and I don't get in. Which do you think would be the best path for IB? The MA in management I've researched is NYU and Wake Forest. If I went back to school I will have to go back to my undergrad which is Rutgers Newark. Haven't researched finance schools.

Look at UVAs Masters in commerce degree. The MMS will be fine for banking, but you need to focus on brand. Look at Duke, Michigan, Northwestern, etc.

Don't do another bachelor's degree.
