The MSF program is master of Science and Finance, and it's really aimed at people who want to take a deep dive into finance and step into careers that are genuinely a step above what undergraduates are typically going to get. It's a one year program and we're very confident in our ability to take students with a wide range of backgrounds, give them the basics that they need, and then take them in those deeper dives into finance and now can bring that different perspective into the business environment and help businesses do things better.
