Hi Neb, Creighton does not publish the cost of their online masters in finance so I can’t tell you that. There appears to be no data on that on their one site and we don’t profile this degree on our site so we have no solid cost data on them. You know that you do NOT need a master’s in finance to take the CFA Exam. SEE CFA site: https://www.cfainstitute.org/pages/index.aspx You only need to meet these requirements: Have a bachelor’s (or equivalent) degree or be in the final year of your bachelor’s degree program at the time of registration* or… Read more »

Vicky,
They do interest, but they are too expensive as I will be leaving on resident’s salary. From my research, I have found Creighton University and Penn State have online MS in Finance programs. Between the MS in accounting and MS in finance, which degree do you think will be better for getting into management consulting? Thanks.

You are welcome.
Do any of these finance master’s interest you?
Do you know of others we could add?
Let us know.
