W. P. Carey MS-FIN
In as little as nine months, the W. P. Carey Master of Science in Finance (MS-FIN) delivers a leading-edge curriculum balanced between finance and asset/portfolio management. You'll be prepared for a range of career opportunities, including corporate finance, risk management, money management, financial planning, investment banking, consulting, or real estate.
The innovative master’s of finance curriculum will set you apart in a competitive job market, and build skills you will use throughout your career. An optional third-semester track in analytical methods will deepen your focus in that area, opening up new and rewarding professional pathways.
Academics
The MS-FIN is one of the few advanced finance degrees offered by a top-ranked business school, and is a member of CFA University Recognition Program, preparing you to sit for the CFA Level I exam. As a STEM-designated program, eligible MS-FIN graduates on student visas have access to an Optional Practical Training (OPT) extension for up to 36 months. This longer work authorization term may help international students gain additional real-world skills and experience in the U.S.
The optional track in analytical methods adds a semester to your program, but delivers excellent return on investment through an internship opportunity and enhanced core coursework and electives.
