What is the difference between a bachlors and a MBA?

The difference is primarily in the number of finance or accounting courses that the student takes. Most MBA programs require basic courses in finance, accounting, marketing, and management, and others courses in the first year of the two-year program. Students can then take electives and select concentrations, with some variations among different schools. Students who are interested in investment banking or similar fields take more finance courses, usually with additional accounting courses as well. Students interest in auditing, taxation, or work with a CPA firm take more accounting courses. However the MBA is a general degree designed to train student to enter any area of management. The MBA is in contrast to the MS degree which trains students to reach higher levels of knowledge in their specialty so that they can serve as better staff and researchers, with no intention of becoming high level managers.

You can use it to locatet programs in specific geographic regions, specific concentrations, or specific types of programs, such as full-time, part-time, executive, distance learning, and accelerated. You can specify criteria that are important to you and get a ranked list of programs that best fit those criteria. From the Guide you can go directly to a school's URL or contact schools by email. ----------------------------- An Accounting MBA is a graduate professional degree in business administration that focuses on accounting side.
