发帖数: 254 | 1 I agree with aaronmit. The shortest possible duration to pass all three
levels of the CFA is two and a half years. You have to meet its employment
requirements before you can call yourself "CFA", otherwise, you can only say
that you have passed all three levels of the CFA exam.

发帖数: 254 | 3 From a career perspective, Accounting is better. The job market for
Information Systems is not looking as good. Accountants are needed all the
time. Even though your interest may not be in Accounting, but who knows,
you might like it later.
Just my opinion.

发帖数: 254 | 21 First, you need to have a Bachelor's or Master's degree. Then, you need at
least 24 credit hours of accounting-related courses. Community college
credits seem argumentative. Why don't you take classes from university's "
college of continuing education" or something like that? Or you can take
some "non-degree" credits. It should count towards the 24 credit-hour
requirement.

allow it, even though they don't encourage it. An MBA is not required to
obtain a PhD.

The OP is referring to UNC-C, not UNC-Chapel Hill. UNC-C's Finance PhD
program started in 2005 and should at most have 1-2 graduates (if any). Not
too sure about the placement, but they are aiming quite high. Take a look
at the faculty members: from finance, economics, and even mathematics.

发帖数: 254 | 46 From the list you provided, it seems that Finance has the best job market.
Other than MIS, I think for the other majors, it's relatively easy for fresh
PhDs to find faculty positions. Actually, Business PhD graduates don't
have an advantage in getting a job elsewhere (other than faculty positions).
All above are just my personal opinion.

发帖数: 14 | 47 Hi SZU2006:
Thanks for your detailed response.
But why business PhD graduates do not have advantages in getting jobs?
Why is it easy to find a faculty position? For engineering or science Ph.D.
gradautes, it might be easier to find a job than faculty position and this
might be contary to business graduates. What are the reasons behind the
storyies?
I really hope to hear your comments. Thanks.

发帖数: 254 | 48 Basically, there is no equilibrium. Take accounting for example, all the
skills the employer requires can be obtained from a Master's graduate, so
they will not pay more. You can still qualify for the job, but with a PhD,
do you want to be paid $50K? You would rather get a faculty position and be
paid >$100K.
