Description
The Master of Science in Finance program prepares students for careers in finance, including investment and portfolio management, financial planning, wealth management, and corporate finance. Our curriculum can help students interested in financial planning and wealth management to progress towards the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER(TM) (CFP®) certification. For those interested in investment and portfolio management, our curriculum helps students progress towards the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) certification, especially in preparing for the Level 1 exam. Students with foundational courses in finance can further expand their existing knowledge by selecting relevant elective courses in new areas of study. With extensive connections to professionals across the nation, we seek to provide the most practical and applied graduate education in finance possible.
