An MBA with a Finance Specialization and a Master's in Finance are both graduate-level degrees with a finance focus. The primary difference is found in the coursework. An MBA with a Specialization in Finance is a business degree first, meaning that you'll take a variety of core business classes in addition to the finance classes that are part of the specialization. A Master's in Finance focuses more exclusively on finance courses, honing your knowledge in that particular subject area.
