"Finance might be arguably thought of as the crystal ball side of financial matters for businesses and even private citizens," said Raj Dash, the article's lead researcher. "Where Accounting, in a nutshell, tracks a business' financial transactions, Finance typically focuses on the financial future of a business or individual.
"It's a simplified distinction, yet useful when deciding on the type of financial career to pursue. While some colleges offer degree programs that combine both accounting and finance topics, the two are often offered separately. For students still deciding, know that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS.gov) predicts a 30% growth in jobs for Personal Financial Advisors (PFAs) in the period 2014-2024, while other Finance- and Accounting-related careers are expecting growth similar to the national average.
"We've explored this, as well a partial list of finance-related occupations, in this college rankings article of the most affordable Master's degrees in Finance. The article also offers an overall statistical summary of the 25 colleges ranked, including a per-college stats dashboard and an easy-to-use histogram chart of tuition for the colleges."
Rankings for this list were compiled with data from NCES (National Center for Education Statistics), a bureau of the Dept. of Education (http://nces.ed.gov/). We queried for graduate institutions that grant degrees in Finance on a distance basis, filtered out colleges that are based in U.S. protectorate nations, sorted by increasing out-of-state tuition, filtered out doctoral-level-only colleges, filtered for online degree programs, resulting in selecting the 25 most affordable master's programs in finance. Similar topical rankings will be published at AffordableSchools (http://affordableschools.net) -- an independent college search and rankings site with a focus on affordable colleges and programs -- on a regular basis.
