MSF/MBA Route
Hey all - I have a question and was just looking to gather some opinions on it. I am currently thinking about pursuing a MSF, but also going back to obtain a MBA later on. Here's my quick story: Graduated with around a 3.3 GPA from a large state school in the Southeast (Regional Presence). Worked for a year in the asset based lending field (consulting style work) for a no name firm. Transitioned to F500 finance for a manufacturing company.
My question is - should I try and pursue a MSF to re-brand myself to have better MBA opportunities down the road. Or do I stick it out and work for a while where I am at? Just trying to figure out what path I should take and what my target schools should be.
- Thanks
You could go to Vanderbilt and end up not needing an MBA later on down the road. I used to think most MSF's would go on to do an MBA, but after doing this for 5-6 years, those who do an MBA are in the minority. Especially if you do your masters at a T30 schools (Vanderbilt, WUSTL, UTA, UVA, etc).
The MSF isn't going to help you with your MBA. The only reason to do both is if you do the MSF first and it doesn't get you where you want to be. If you are a candidate for a good MBA program, you're probably better off just working toward that.
