请问大家对美国的MBA和MS的区别有什么看法？

song0203

我是一心要申ms的（accountancy），不太倾向于MBA，一个是学费贵些，还有觉得不够专业（可能是受国内mba的影响。。）， 我ye知道美国的mba其实口碑是很好的。

但是不明白两者具体的区别是什么？
有明白的人解释下吗，我想动手申请之前把这种白痴的问题搞懂，以防以后后悔！

美国的Top MBA和国内那些卖文凭的MBA完全两码事

我最近也在想这个问题啊，怕念了MASTER花了时间花了钱不值得，本科已经学过很多会计财务课。。念个MBA concentrate accounting怎么样呢?现在发现美国的MBA分很多方向，出来也不是一定做管理的。

the MBA “trains young professionals in general areas of management and to emphasize personal communication, leadership and management skills that cover all the areas. In the MBA you roughly do 25% class time in finance and accounting, for example, where the Finance MA is 90% pure finance.”

He goes on to say that the general nature of MBA courses, by definition, offer a very firm grounding in the other core skills such as operations, HR and organizational behaviour whereas MSc in Finance won’t. This is recruiter-driven. “The big banks want students at the cutting edge of financial skills, derivatives, financial engineering, which are electives in an MBA but a core part of the MA. The assumption is a graduate of MA in Finance won’t have do those kind of roles.”

Course focus and teaching styles are essential differences between an MBA and a Masters. Masters courses, says Stockley, “introduce graduates to general management but in a different way. Some cover the same material as parts of the MBA but are more didactic in manner with fewer case studies, less debate and a different style of teaching that is more lecture-based.”
