MS Finance Hands-On Learning

Through direct experience and collaboration with industry, students become grounded in the skills and techniques needed to engage their careers from the outset.

It's been said that it takes three to four years of on-the-job experience to make an impact in the financial services industry. The amount of time might be debatable, but it's unquestionable that real-world experience is essential. That's why master of science in finance students are afforded access to dynamic and applied learning opportunities to accelerate and deepen their learning experience.
