Those looking to get into a career in finance often are encouraged to continue their studies by earning a Master of Business Administration (MBA). An MBA offers a broad curriculum in finance, markets, accounting, entrepreneurship, and management.
But a more focused alternative that is becoming increasingly popular is a master’s degree in finance—also known as Master of Finance, Master’s in Finance, or MF. Choosing which of these programs best suits a prospective student may be challenging, but both programs offer the potential for high-paying career opportunities.
