Georgia State MSF

Is anyone in Atlanta who has completed the Georgia State Masters in Finance at night? TNA has a good write up of the program on msfhq.com. It would be nice to hear from someone who has done it to talk about the program and whether the tuition is worth it from an ROI standpoint. The 37k price tag looks high considering a supposed 13 percent increase in pay or about 70k in compensation in Finance upon completion. Any individual insight would be great.

People I know who have completed it are working in Corp finance and stuff. If you are in the ATL area it's basically your best bet. I think tuition includes parking and food also.

See if you can get tuition reimbursement or some scholarship money.

That's my plan if I do it. The people that you know in corporate finance in Atlanta...Are they making a salary that makes the investment worth it? I have also debated if I should do a the CFA instead. The Georgia State program is 11 months. I could do 2 levels of the CFA in 11 months for a fraction of the cost.

Thoughts?

@TNA: I've decided to do it. I spoke with your friend a while back.

Congrats. Let me know how it goes. I'll link up with you when I'm in Atlanta next.

 

@TNA: I'm thinking the masters in Finance Will help me make up time. Right now, I'm in the 60k to 75k range. Trying to get to 120k to 130k in Atlanta. Thinking the asset/wealth management track.
