I’m graduating next spring with my Bachelor’s in Finance, and I want to start looking at graduate schools, but I’m not really sure that I want to continue with finance or if I even want to get an MBA at all.

I really like economics, especially applied economics, but I haven’t found any schools that have an MBA with an applied economics focus, most schools just offer a MA in economics or something similar.

Can anyone suggest schools/degrees that I might want to look at that have graduate programs in applied economics or similar?

Would an MA in applied economics with a bachelors in finance be less “prestigious” in the business world than if I just got my MBA?
