In this video, I’d like to take a closer look at the popular discussion of pursuing the CPA vs MBA.

Why MBA Could be Better...

In terms of gaining knowledge, a typical 2-year curriculum offered by MBA programs should be more thorough than a 6-12 month self-study required by the CPA exam. An MBA is program is generally broader covering not only accounting, but also finance, marketing, business and even niches such as venture capital and social enterprises.

On the other hand Why CPA Could be Better...

Some recruiters do suggest getting a CPA instead because it is faster and less expensive to get the credentials. You can take the exam before getting your accounting degree and get your license after 1-2 years of experience.
