Re: MBA cfa or both]

For those considering a career in Investments, the great debate has been whether to obtain a Master of Business Administration (MBA) or The CFA Institute's Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation.

Both have their advantages but the difficulty of attaining the latter, choosing between the two makes for a rather difficult decision.

To attract students, graduate institutions have begun to teach a large portion of the CFA program within the graduate business curriculum and some have gone as far as to create a "CFA track" within their MBA course of study, allowing students to obtain an MBA and a CFA at the same time.

For those considering attaining both a graduate degree and the CFA certification, one of these programs is the most efficient way to get the best of both worlds.

One way to explain the differences in the programs is to say that the MBA program is a mile wide and a foot deep, while the CFA program is a foot wide and a mile deep.

The advantage of an MBA is that the knowledge obtained in the program is valuable in other industries outside of the investment world.
The great disadvantage is cost - both the direct cost of the program and the loss of income that results from a two-year hiatus for those considering going back to school full-time.

The advantages of the CFA program are the ability to acquire specific investment related skills at a relatively low cost.
However, although the CFA program is based on self study, it is arduous, requiring a commitment of four years and 1,000 study hours (on average) to complete it.
