专业介绍

The M.S.F. program builds upon a Bachelor or Master of Business Administration or a degree in another quantitative discipline. It emphasizes both financial theory and quantitative methods in financial management.

Students engage in applied research and modeling, using large professional databases and computer software packages. They explore the international and regulatory dimensions of finance while focusing on risk management, financial engineering, banking, corporate finance and portfolio analysis and management.

Students pursuing an M.S.F. degree may choose between the intensive program and the regular program. Under the intensive program, students take four classes per semester to complete the degree in 12 months, including a summer session. The regular program, which we highly recommend, paces classes over a period of 24 months, including two summer sessions.

There are no majors in this degree program. However, students with strong backgrounds in particular subject areas may petition to waive a required course and replace it with an elective approved by the program director.
