FAQ: Master's or MBA?
Question: "What is the difference between a regular master's degree and an MBA? Which would be the better goal if I want to work for an accounting firm? Which is better for the CPA exam?"
— Natasha Coleman
Answer: "An MBA is geared more toward finance and corporate management versus accounting. As far as passing the CPA exam, a master's degree in accounting would be more appropriate and also for working for a CPA firm. Some MBA programs won't let you in until you have worked for a couple of years. That being said, a combination of a CPA and an MBA is pretty powerful, so depending on what you want to do (time, money, career, etc.), I would suggest getting both as far as long-term career potential. If you have to choose between the two, the CPA is more important. Get the CPA first and then an MBA."
— Joseph S. Estabrook, CPA/ABV, ASA, of Ellin & Tucker in Washington, D.C.
