I believe at LSU I can get an MBA while specializing in Accounting, would that or getting a Master's in Accounting be better?

Most people get a Masters in Accounting so they will have the hours requirement to sit for the CPA exam (150 hrs). While not useless, the Masters of Accounting is generally obtained as a way to meet the requirement

While probably more difficult (due to less focus on accounting in MBA), I think obtaining an MBA and a CPA would be superior to a Masters of Accountancy and a CPA

If you have a CPA nobody is going to Care if you have your masters in accounting. But if you decide to get out of Accounting a MBA will carry more weight than a Masters of Accounting
