Hello! I am new here looking to get input from others. I turn 28 years old this year, have a wife, 3 kids (3 year old twin boys and a 1 year old girl). I am the Assistant Vice President of a bank. I currently hold a BS in Biology from a small state school and a MBA from an AACSB Accredited university. I have the desire to further my education in the finance or quantitative management field however it is NOT realistic for me to give up my employment to go the traditional full-time on campus route. I have been admitted to the following online MS programs:
University of Oklahoma (Price)
University of Missouri-Columbia (Trulaske)
I have spoken with an admissions counselor and have a strong chance of being admitted to Johns Hopkins (Carey) for their part-time online MS in Finance.
An acquaintance of mine got his MBA at Duke and is now the President and CEO of US Polo Assn. We are speaking on the phone tomorrow because he serves on Fuquas Board and we are going to discuss the Master of Science in Quantitative Management that Fuqua offers.
So that being said, I am wanting to move into a financial analyst or management analyst type role. Would Price, Trulaske, Carey or Fuqua better serve me?
I know I am not the "traditional" student so take it easy on me.

For the MSF you either do something with a strong brand to elevate your profile or you forego another degree and focus on industry certs/continuing education. RMA is great for banking. NYU and other schools have credit certs. All would help advance your career. I'd probably highly advise against another degree unless you love school and will get full tuition reimbursement.
Frankly, your job performance is going to benefit you better than another degree.

Thank you for your advice! I have an interview with Duke this morning. I will wait and see if I get admissions offers and if so, what type of merit-based scholarship(s) I get.Frankly, your job performance is going to benefit you better than another degree.
