what's the difference between Business(MBA), Investment Banking, and Finance(what's the degree for finance called)?

The only time I've ever heard of an investment banking degree was a UofT degree but it was an MBA with a concentration in IB.

The degree is Finance is just a Masters of Finance usually

MBA is general business, is more for like management but you could choose concentration on different subject too. For example if you choose MBA with concentration in Finance, then you will learn a little bit of everything with more concentration on Finance, which is pretty much management + finance. Or you can choose with concentration in Accounting, and others.

Finance only should be MsF, which is everything about finance, i believe if you can choose several concentration with finance too, and I believe investment banking is one of them among others like.. corporate finance for example. Some schools might be offering Investment banking program separately, but in general, I think you can choose to go with investment banking path through MsF and then just get all your licenses needed for the job.

Oh, and forgot to mention that to apply to MBA, you need at least 3-5 years of working experience, where MsF you can apply straight after college. I'm not saying that all of the schools won't accept you, but most of them won't.
