MA/MS in Finance and Financial Management Services

Working finance professionals are the intended audience for this online master's degree, which is built around jobs and family schedules. Students can finish in a single accelerated year or spread the thirty credits across a longer, more relaxed timeline. Candidates choose between two areas of emphasis: financial planning with wealth management, or investments with portfolio management. Since the CFP Board has registered the curriculum, completing it satisfies the coursework requirement for the certified financial planner exam. It also lays groundwork for those who plan to pursue the Chartered Financial Analyst designation. The degree aims to build practical competence and fluency with the analytical methods used in current financial markets. Tuition is charged per credit, and several discounts exist for alumni and for employees of partner organizations, along with scholarships and other aid.
