Taking Cost Accounting Class in the Summer?

Posted by Farm Town Tips at 1:16 PM 1 comments
I have recently been reconsidering taking Cost Accounting as a summer class in which I am enrolled. There are several reasons for and against this which I must take into consideration while making this decision.

Pros of Taking the Summer Class:
*I wont have to take Cost Accounting & Auditing at the same time in the Fall
*I may get better grades due to splitting the two hard classes up
*I will have more time to prepare for internship interviews
*I will be able to prepare for the GMAT in the fall
*I may have more credit hours (if I take a full load in the Fall as well)

Cons of Taking the Summer Class:
*I will go further into debt than if I did not take it
*I wont get to as much time with my girlfriend
*I may feel 'burnt out' by the time school starts again
*I will have to spend more money on the class (due to partial scholarship in the fall)
*I wont have as much money to pay off debts and save for the fall, so I will not have to work more in the fall

I found the best advice to my graduate degree dilemma

Posted by Farm Town Tips at 1:39 PM 0 comments
I have come to a new decision in regards to my dilemma between the MBA and the MSACC. I will be graduating this December with my degree in Accounting and hopefully will find a full-time Spring internship with a Public/Private firm in which I will be able to get a better feel for my preferences after graduating.

I must credit the director of my college's MSACC program for not being biased and for trying to help me truly decide on my own as to which one I preferred.

MBA or MSACC? Which is the better option and why?

I will begin this blog under the assumption that the best precursor to speaking is listening. I will do this in order to gain the best understanding of the perspectives of my audience. What do you believe the best graduate degree would be for an Accounting undergraduate.

I have been told that the Masters of Science in Accounting is better than an MBA for those pursuing a Controller/CFO position. My school pushes their MSACC program much harder than their MBA program but I am concerned that this could be because they are much (much) more highly ranked in the MSACC than the MBA.

Responses and opinions are HIGHLY encouraged.
