Goals: Masters of Science Finance (MSF) Graduate Program
The Master of Science in Finance (MSF) program is a 30-semester-unit, 12-month program that will provide students with knowledge and skills in various finance areas including corporate finance and investments. Aligned with the Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA) curriculum, the MSF program will engage students in analyzing financial issues that are of interest to global corporations, financial institutions and international investors and equip the students with the knowledge needed for CFA certification. The purpose of the MSF program is to graduate students who are proficient in examining current financial issues, exploring feasible financial strategies, and applying relevant financial knowledge and analytical models that can help corporations, financial institutions and investors achieve optimal outcomes and solutions from a global perspective.
