The MSc Option

Obviously the MBA is the big dog in the room, but a MSc in Finance Program can at least help land your first job. Currently I'm going through a Masters course directly out of undergrad and am enjoying it - and hope to continue on to something more maybe in 5-6 years.

Here is a piece about options for younger folks straight out of undergrad: http://www.businessbecause.com/commentary/msc-fin…

The story features, Aston Business School, Rotterdam School of Management, City University; Cass, and European Business School in Frankfurt.

Its probably makes sense for people who want to pursue a specialization in Finance to do an MSc in Finance rather than do an MBA. For some reason the MBA still continues to be popular
