北美MBA同时再选择cma或cfa方向有没有必要

woony001

如题，我想知道如果没有这些证书，mba的就业会不会差很多，谢谢

Hey there.  While both of these qualifications are great, and a CFA especially is quite well-respected in the US, you don’t NEED either of them for most jobs.  Certain financial jobs will look for you to GET these qualifications perhaps at some point, but if you don’t have any CFA qualifications, but you DO have an MBA from a top school, you will be considered for any job.  A good MBA is better than a CFA, and an MBA is required—a CFA/CMA is not.  So no, you don’t need either of those two degree.  : )   Hope this helps!

Cause I did not study business in China,so I just assumed an accounting designation may strengthen my business foundation.
Thanks again~~

Hey there—so glad that you found our advice to be helpful!  Yes it will be helpful…but not necessary.  Not by a longshot.  Better to get a great MBA, then a CFA, CPA, etc.  Those are just letters from the alphabet.  J  Hope this helps, and keep in touch my friend

的确如果是TOP 15的估计就不用CFA了，如果不是的话那么 MBA+CFA我觉得还是一个非常强劲并且认可度极高的组合

hello, Jon：
I have a question: Can professional certifications ( such as: CFA, CMA, or PMP) be considered as a plus for applying MBA? especially when candidates do not have finanice or management experience.

thanks for your advise in advance.

美国人呢，没有中国人那么热衷证书。

如果你要找投行方面的工作，如果本身没有任何金融背景，CFA还有那么一点意思，最少可以说明一下你对金融方面的学习什么的。但是真的不是必须的。

如果说还有几年才申请，为了学习，慢慢去考一下也行。如果就要申请了，有没有这类证书，都无所谓了就。反正不能立刻去考一个出来。
