The purpose of the STEM-designated MS Finance program is to provide students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to be innovative, well-informed, and experienced finance professionals. The curriculum is based on the financial theory and empirical methods employed by professionals practicing corporate finance, financial security valuation, financial modeling, portfolio management, financial services management, financial risk management, and corporate governance. As a result, students will obtain training and experience valued by corporations, financial service firms, consulting firms, and government agencies. Additionally, if desired, students may tailor their program to enhance progress through a subsequent doctoral degree program.
If accepted into the program as a full-time student with a strong background in finance, the 30-credit degree program may be completed in nine months (the accelerated program). Other full-time students may complete the program in eighteen months and part-time students may complete the program in twenty-one months.
