Immerse Yourself
The program is an immersive educational experience providing a broad exposure to all areas of finance. Through your elective courses and master's project, you will also have an opportunity to specialize in your area of interest within finance.
The ten master’s level classes are all in finance during the calendar year. All master’s-level finance courses are scheduled to avoid conflicts, giving students the opportunity to select from among all of the 500-level finance courses offered.
The incoming Fall classes will normally be between 25 and 30 students, keeping the classes small and the students connected with the faculty. Many of the classes are also shared with 2nd-year MBA students in the College.
With only a fall start to the program, the curriculum from fall courses builds into more advanced material in the spring semester. The Master's project is completed under the supervision of a Finance advisor during the Summer sessions following the Fall and Spring coursework.
Positioned for Advancement
The program provides a strong foundation in the principles and practices of finance. Through the curriculum, you will develop the advanced analytical and technical financial skills and tools needed for your career in finance and for informed financial decision-making.
Tracks of Specialization
The department offers four tracks in our MSF program: Investment Management, Fixed Income, Corporate Finance, Real Estate Finance. Planning your curricula around these tracks enhances your job opportunities.
