American MSF vs Johns Hopkins MSF
Hello,
I am looking for opinions regarding MSF programs. I am deciding between the American University Kogod School of business MSF program and the Johns Hopkins Carey School of business MSF program. The Kogod MSF program is a full time 1 year program whereas the Carey MSF program is a part time 2 year. I hope to one day get my MBA and then work in corporate finance. In your opinion, which school will better prepare me for that. Furthermore, I am aware the Johns Hopkins Carey school is very up and coming. Do people think that one day the business school will be as successful as the medical school?
Thanks, Alex
I like the Johns Hopkins MS in Real Estate program. The MSF feels to me to be not as important. It is part time and offered at 2 campuses. Since it is part time you will be able to work, but if you are using the MSF as a way to break into something then I would choose a full time program.
American looks like a decent MSF, but you need to do some searching for F500 companies in the DC area. You might want to think about going the government route. A friend of mine was interviewing for the Treasury Dept and they would bump him up a couple pay grades for having a masters. The do not discern between MSF and MBA, both are graduate degrees.
John Hopkins is like 6K more expensive.
Look at my blog for info :

Any recent insight into the Johns Hopkins program? Current/former students that want to chime in?
Recently attended an information session. Seemed like they were definitely still in start-up mode, but you've got to think that Johns Hopkins, with its reputation to uphold, will be able to have a thriving and competitive program in a few years. That's assuming there's still so much demand for the MSF degree.
I did an MSIS at Hopkins B-School. I know the dean well and understand what he's trying to build. They made some great hires for professors recently that will be directly benefiting the MBA and MSF programs. They've poached a couple of professors from Booth and one from Wharton and just hired some Stanford and MIT phds. I had some of the newer professors and they were good.
As far as placement, Hopkins is always a good brand but you'll need to sell yourself. Their career services is fairly weak.
Thanks Jose. It's great to hear that they're focusing hard on acquiring good people.
Hey Jose, would you mind PM'ing me. I've been trying to get some Hopkins info and it is pretty tough. Great brand name and would love to provide more information on their MSF program
I am doing MS in marketing at Carey. Most of the professors are deft elite in the field. Beyond that, i had great learning experience as your classmates are often mixed with MBAs and MS students, which gives you the chance to work with someone who are significantly more experienced. Im quite sure that you can choose full time program as you like.
