    Advance your career with a master’s in finance and pursue a job with highly respected companies

    The Kelley MS in Finance (MSF) program delivers financial skills that equip students to compete for jobs with some of the world’s best-known companies, as well as with smaller, faster-growing firms.

    Description of the video:

    The MSF program has a number of things that can help set up students for success in their careers, particularly in their early careers. Personal development, professional development, and network, that's what the MSF offers you.

    I think everybody gets something a little bit different out of the MSF and out of Kelley. But for me personally, it was one of the best decisions I've made.

    It has been truly a journey of pursuing knowledge as well as preparing yourself for the next step. The Kelley School helps people succeed by connecting them with just an enormous network of professionals in finance all over the country, all over the world.

    I think from the alumni's perspective, one of the most rewarding things about this program is connecting with similarly minded young professionals. People coming into the MSF program come from various backgrounds and various skill sets.

    Talking and maintaining these connections help you just not only to learn what others have experienced in their lives but also take that learning and apply it to yours to better yourself.

    When I was having a trouble finding a job, a Kelley person offered a hint to me that means a lot. I mean, people helped me, so I want to help others as well.  That's kind of the IU pipeline. That's the Kelley tradition. We have a culture of giving back and a willingness to pick up the phone or answer any email.

    The alumni base is incredibly receptive. The best part about the program and what has remained still from that year has really been the relationships and the friendships.

    Kelley will be a part of me forever. And certainly, I do consider it a big family.
