Program Overview

Introduction to the MBA/MSF Dual Degree Program

The Suffolk MBA/MSF program provides students with a broad-based managerial education and specialized expertise in the field of finance. This program allows students to take an expedited approach, earning two master's degrees upon fulfilling all requirements for both programs.

Program Overview

Suffolk's Master of Science in Finance degree is one of the only programs in New England that is a member of both the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Institute University Affiliation Program and a Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP) Academic Partner. This makes it an ideal program for those working toward professional designations, such as Certified Financial Analyst or Financial Risk Manager.
