Offered by the Department of Finance, the Master of Science in Finance offers advanced financial instruction that provides a strong conceptual understanding of finance and develops students’ analytical abilities. Candidates come with interests in such areas as corporate finance, investments, international finance, and financial institutions. Students choose one of two concentrations: Financial and Risk Management or Investment Analysis.
The program requires 30 credit hours. Those in the Financial and Risk Management concentration take eight required courses, including Corporate Financial Planning, in addition to two chosen classes. Investment Analysis experts take seven required courses including Portfolio Management, in addition to three chosen classes.
Additionally, residency requirements must be completed within one semester for full-time students, or two semesters for part-time students. Calculus for business applications, information technology, and statistics for business applications workshops may be satisfied through previous equivalent undergraduate or graduate course work taken within a specific time frame with a B or better grade at an accredited college or university or through satisfactory performance on a proficiency examination administered by the appropriate department within the Frank G. Zarb School of Business.
Lastly, newly admitted international students are required to take an English placement exam during fall and spring orientation.
