monkeys,
I was looking into CUNY Baruch's MS programs and it doesn't offer a MSF. It does however, offer a, Executive Master of Science in Finance. The "executive" programs are considered a separate program from the regular MS programs. Can anyone enlighten me on the difference between and executive MS program and a plain MS?
I would probably consider it pointless. Just from the standpoint that in general Executive programs aren't viewed the same way full-time programs are. MSF degrees are also mainly for people with 0-3 years experience with the large percentage being closer to 0 (not counting internships here). At the manager/10 years experience level an executive MBA would make more sense than an executive MSF, though neither would carry the weight of their full-time counterparts
Please don't waste money on an Executive MSF at Baruch... Your ROI on that degree will be negative because I doubt that it will open very many doors that networking cannot.
Thanks for the advice guys, cleared it up.
Low GPA, liberal arts degree from non-target, not trying to be stuck in retail sales for my whole career. Not trying to get into IBD, but cost of MS of say, accounting, statistics, quant, real estate is about 9k all in for Baruch. Maybe I'll add the CFA and qualify myself further.
Rest assured, I will continue to network.
In general, executive degrees are for those with significant work experience that need a graduate degree to advance to the next level of their career. They are generally short, both in terms of time of completion and the amount of credit hours that you take.
Designed to be supplemental, not for younger people that need to develop and expand their network, skill set, etc.
