re: Value of MBA when you have MS Accounting ?

the two programs share 3 classes.

Yes, getting it is a no brainer if it is such few classes and from a top 20 school.

She will likely want to leave the B4 one day and it will check boxes that are required on basically all director level and up roles at any large company. She won't get much value out of the MBA if she stays in B4 but it never hurts to learn new things.

She should try to take as many classes that are NOT Accounting and Finance as possible. As much exposure in customer analytics, marketing, strategy, operations, and human resource management as possible will round out her skill set.

Probably. I get ads all the time from them about "top 20 MBA online program."

I think, as some have mentioned, the courses that we thought would carry over will not.

She aced the GMAT, so if anything, she will apply again at Wharton or NYU in a year for their executive program.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Will do. I was just mainly curious if there was much benefit or was it redundant with already having a masters. When we were looking at the prospectus and she had 3 classes already it seemed a no brainier. If she has to do the whole thing it def would need to be a TOP school she can easily commute to on weekends etc.

I stand corrected.

Audit is definitely a form of accounting. It is a focus on controls and processes around all financial systems and the reliability of its reporting. Tax is the part of Accounting that is unique.
