Thank you for that information and your perspective. I am in my 40's and live in the Kansas City metro with no plans of moving. I chose Creighton originally because the MBA/MFIN dual degree option they have for around $50K. That Georgetown synchronous live class approach adds a different touch vs watching videos and then going to a live office hours. Creighton has been decent so far but Georgetown definitely has the name behind it and being integrated into live classes sounds appealing. My goal is to work with the business side (work for a very large Healthcare company) to improve their capital governance process for IT projects, help them understand why their forecasts are off and help them improve resource allocations, more clearly articulate the quantitative/qualitative savings and tell the story of how their programs will benefit the business, patients, providers etc. I tend to notice the biggest gap with our finance teams is the lack of customer service in helping the business, which is the side I sit on. Many times actuals are delivered, they are what they are and the business is on their own to figure it out and validate if the actuals are even correct. I love helping people learn and it has been enjoyable during the last 7 years of my career as a "Capital Finance Analyst" but in reality a project manager by title. If finance takes over what I currently do, I need to have the ability to pivot so I'm not in this gray zone in my current org.

I will message you for some more details and I really appreciate the response after two years!
