Blended Online M.S. in Finance Courses

A Comprehensive, Career-Driven Curriculum

The Master of Science in Finance (MSF) blended online program focuses on a global outlook, experiential learning, real-world trends, and the importance of principled leadership to deliver a rigorous, comprehensive and practical education.

The world-class MSF curriculum is available either part-time or full-time over 21 months for the traditional track or 10 months for the (intensive full-time) accelerated track. The curriculum requirements include six core courses, two advanced courses, and a choice of elective courses (minimum of two are required), as well as a weeklong in-person Financial Markets Residency and the capstone Global Consulting Project course, where students apply much of the knowledge and skills they have learned throughout the program to a real-world consulting project for an international firm. The course concludes with a trip to the client’s home country for an in-person presentation to the firm’s executives. The students also engage in cultural activities during their visit.

Students pursuing the traditional full-time track take the Career Strategy course and two additional electives (students may switch from the traditional full-time track to the traditional part-time track or vice versa). Students in the other tracks also can choose to take the Career Strategy course and other electives. Compare a curriculum breakdown for the traditional and accelerated tracks here.
