We think an MBA Finance Specialization can absolutely be worth it if you're interested in gaining both business administration and finance skills through a single degree program. As an MBA program, our MBA with a Specialization in Finance at DeVry can help you build your business skills, helping you prepare to pursue business or finance career paths. Our MBA Finance online Specialization is also a graduate-level degree, which may help you to stand out in applications for certain entry-level or intermediate-level positions, depending on their requirements.

An MBA in Finance Specialization and a Master's in Finance are both graduate-level degrees with a finance focus. The primary difference between the two is found in the coursework for each degree. An MBA with a Specialization in Finance is a business degree first, meaning that you'll take a variety of business classes in addition to any finance classes that are part of the specialization. A Master's in Finance focuses more exclusively on finance courses, and specifically lists finance on your degree. However, you will have the option to note that your MBA had a finance specialization on your resume once you begin applying for jobs. Once you leave school, the differences between the two degrees may become less significant, in some cases, as both can give you the opportunity to learn skills that may allow you to consider some of the same job titles.
