I am graduating in Dec with Bachelors in Finance. Do I go for MBA or get MA?
I don't have much work experience. My original intention was do International Business for my MBA but I know many B-schools require work experience. My other option was to get my masters in International Affairs. Which option will allow me to be more marketable?

The MBA is obviously the gold standard in the industry. . . So, I'd get some experience, then do an MBA. However, I've seen people market MAs just as well. . . Though perhaps an Economics MA would be more marketable in this economy.

It depends on your career goals. The MBA is a general degree that trains students to become managers at any level in business up to CEO. The MS is a specialized degree that concentrates on a single field and trains students for high level staff or research positions. Consult the Official MBA Guide. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, etc), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It's the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.
