    Currently I am double concentrating in Accounting and Finance for my MBA. The idea was that I would use it as a study step for the CPA but I began taking and passing the CPA sections earlier than planned.

    Right now I am double concentrating in Accounting and Finance. I also double majored in Accounting and Finance in undergrad. My company is paying for a significant portion of the MBA.

    Should I just drop the Accounting concentration once I complete the CPA and just stick with the Finance concentration? I don’t mind the accounting classes, they are easy A’s for me.

    I think you should stick with your Accounting and Finance majors as an undergrad.

    As an MBA, once you have completed Business, Accounting and Finance courses as an undergrad. The school will take credit for all of the courses you have completed. On your MBA — you may go straight to do advanced courses on Finance and Accounting. Good for you that you are getting easy A's for the accounting courses. Not a lot of people get A's on Accounting.

    I really admire that you are taking the CPA at the same time because it is pretty tough while going to school.

    If it's easy and it's paid for, keep them all! You never know if you might need them in the future.

    My work paid for my MBA but I changed jobs before I was done…so had to get just general since they used my MSA classes as electives, but if I had a chance I'd have done concentration in Finance. Just didn't think it was worth it if I had to pay $4K for 3 courses.
