M.S. in Finance Curriculum

While we prefer students with degrees in finance, accounting, economics, business, mathematics or other quantitative fields, we will also consider students with different backgrounds. Students must have completed the following foundation courses to be considered for admission:

 

                                          Finance Courses       

     

  • Financial Accounting        
  • Managerial Finance
  • Microeconomics
  • Macroeconomics
  • Data Analysis/Business Statistics

 

Students who still need to complete the foundation courses may be admitted to the program but may require two years to complete the degree.
