The Master of Science in Finance (MSF) program is designed for professionals who want to lead in financial strategy, analysis, and decision-making. This advanced degree combines rigorous core courses with hands-on learning experiences that build real-world expertise. Students can tailor their path by selecting electives like business valuation, portfolio analysis, and banking, deepening their knowledge in topics most relevant to their career goals. The program culminates in a dynamic capstone experience, offering choices of a finance simulation, the CFA Research Challenge, or the ACG Cup Competition — each providing a platform to apply knowledge in high-impact, competitive scenarios.
The MSF is a CFA Institute-affiliated program.
