In our MS Finance and Risk Management program, you’ll gain insight into the economics and finance behind modern business and add critical quantitative skills to your resume. The master of science degree provides the necessary depth and specialized expertise to meet the needs of businesses for financial managers, investment analysts and other finance specialists.
The program emphasizes a familiarity with the institutions in our financial system, an understanding of financial markets and instruments, and the analytical skills and tools necessary to make informed decisions about investment and financing.
The program is suited to students from a wide variety of undergraduate backgrounds and is particularly appropriate to students with strong technical and analytical backgrounds. Admission standards for the MS finance and risk management program are unique to the program. Therefore, admission to other graduate business programs does not guarantee admission into the MS finance and risk management program.
A hands-on degree, you’ll have the opportunity to dive deep into special topics like behavioral and political finance and international corporate governance. With five specialization options, you can also choose to tailor your degree to focus on commodities, risk management and insurance, economics, financial analysis, or general finance. The MS in finance and risk management offers flexibility with on-campus and online courses, but can be completed fully online.
You may choose one of the following specializations as a part of your degree. Each specialization requires 12 hours of coursework.
- General Finance
- Commodities
