▬ ABOUT THIS VIDEO ▬
Master's Degree In Finance - 4 Affordable Alternatives (Must Watch). In this video, John from the Test Prep Insight team covers four education alternatives that are much cheaper than getting a full masters degree in finance. These alternatives include micromasters and professional certificate programs from top rated universities and colleges. Often times, these types of programs are a better fit for certain people given the high cost of earning a full-fledged master of finance degree. In some cases, a full master's in finance program can cost well over $100-200k after factoring in tuition, secondary expenses and opportunity cost. These micromasters and certificate programs, on the other hand, are much more affordable and give you the opportunity to learn valuable skills. For example, MIT offers a micromasters in finance for a fraction of the cost their full master of finance program from the Sloan School of Management. Thanks for watching this master's degree alternatives guide. Hopefully it helps you figure out whether getting a master's degree in finance is worth it for you personally.

[@anupammishra8477]

Great video, exposure, and insight. Glad you made this video. I liked the MIT MicroMasters program the most. The brand name and cost are gems compared to a full degree, plus the credits will count towards the full program too. Thank you

[@TestPrepInsight]

No problem! Thanks for watching!

This information it’s really valuable. I didn’t knew they were so many options to diversify our career at such inexpensive costs. Thanks great work

[@TestPrepInsight]

[@alexandrarosario5870]

The Indiana University Professional Certificate in Personal Finance Looks like a good opportunity to explore

[@jimmypchacko]

Thanks for this I hadn't even considered the Columbia program because I was so fixed on the micromasters. I'm looking to show I'm well rounded in bushes knowledge and my core responsibilities around innovation and operations so this certificate makes alot of sense

[@TestPrepInsight]

That's awesome. Glad we could help out. Thanks for watching Jimmy!

[@kennybania5177]

Helpful video. The MIT finance program sounds most appealing.

[@khaleditani1157]

I’d choose the MIT MicroMasters

[@nikhilkulkarni8327]

Great list! This could be a great resume builder for those who don’t have the time for a full masters!

[@TestPrepInsight]

Thanks for watching Nikhil!

[@andrewross6060]

[@anna-nx3ur]

[@joshuawong6181]

Nice video!

[@TestPrepInsight]

Thanks for watching Joshua!

[@paulinenaomi8015]

Good to hear my school, Indiana University, yeeh. Definitely they are cheaper for any degree. Great vid

[@TestPrepInsight]

Thanks Pauline!

[@organizstylist7732]

I think I am leaning towards either the IU or U Maryland programs. Pricing is always a big consideration, time to complete and courses that I believe will enhance my skill set.

[@fabianreyesd]

Columbia and Indiana look really good!

[@raustin247]

Hey @Test Prep Insight I’m a high school construction teacher with a background in architecture that’s fascinated with the idea of investing and developing real estate. After having to fully financially support my mother after her disability I learned that I desired to have greater financial freedom, but I absolutely couldn’t forsake my pay check and go two years without earning a descent salary. With my time off as a teacher, a lighter, weekly, work load, an Ivy league name associated to it and a program that’s focused on practical skills along with a nice price tag, the Columbia University Corporate program best matches my desired lifestyle in attaining my dreams. Thank you so much for providing a great video that has truly helped me in taking an alternative approach!

[@TestPrepInsight]

That is awesome! So glad we could help :)

[@dwai9]

I would choose the Columbia University certificate in Corp Finance as I feel it covers LBO modelling and valuation which will help me boost my profile

[@sueclooney1214yt]

The Maryland program seems like a good option. Affordable weekly time commitment and broader coverage did it for me. I haven't looked into master program yet so my thought process might not be accurate. I reckon the broader focus will leave you with more options to choose which Master program to advance with at a later time

[@TestPrepInsight]

Thanks for watching Sue!

[@markmashia7551]

I don’t think the University of Maryland program is available any longer. Can’t seem to find it anywhere

[@kirtanpatel9691]

I think I would go with Indiana University or Columbia because it is self paced

[@achatterjee14]

I would go for the Columbia one since it's a targeted program for those who want to specialize in Corporate finance like I do. Plus it's very affordable for an Ivy league name.

[@TestPrepInsight]

Yep! Thanks for watching!

[@kedargambhire961]

Will all this act as masters degree ?

[@ksingh1370]

Columbia University seems like it would be best for me

[@palesamphatsoe959]

Do you think a master's degree is necessary?

[@TestPrepInsight]

Not strictly speaking....it all depends on what you want to do with it. We think many alternatives are perfectly viable today. Thanks for watching!
