MSF Program Admissions

The Master of Science in Finance (MSF) program is designed to help financial professionals advance their business careers through cultivation of key quantitative and analytical skills as applied to global markets. The MSF hones technical skills and exposes students to practical issues and exercises in many financial applications.

Full-time students take four classes per semester and two during summer school, completing the program in one year, while part-time students generally complete the program in 2 years.

In addition to full-time faculty, there are expert adjunct professors from companies such as Bank of America, State Street Bank and State Street Research.
