The 30-credit program is ideal for professionals interested in upgrading their technical training and knowledge in finance as well as for individuals with strong quantitative skills seeking a career change.

The program can also serve as a stepping stone for those interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in finance or a related field.

The MS in Finance is offered as a Zicklin School flex-time program, allowing students to take courses primarily in the evenings, on either a part-time or full-time (9 or more credits per semester) schedule, depending on their needs each semester.
