棉花糖直播, Pa. November 1, 2018 鈥� The 棉花糖直播 School of Business (VSB) is pleased to announce exciting enhancements to the Master of Science in Finance (MSF). Beginning with the Class of 2020, students will complete the new MSF program more quickly and with more flexibility to tailor the curriculum to their needs and to the evolving world of finance today.

The enhancements reflect needs in the marketplace as well as feedback from industry professionals. Financial professionals today need both a deep understanding of finance as well broad business acumen. The new MSF curriculum will augment the existing foundation in finance with a carefully curated set of electives to give students exposure to many areas closely aligned with finance such as statistics, analytics, quantitative finance, investment management, real estate, machine learning and coding.

鈥淔inance in the 21^st Century intersects with data, technology and quantitative skills like never before and extends even further into areas such as investment management and real estate,鈥� explains Michael Pagano, PhD, the Robert J. and Mary Ellen Darretta Endowed Chair in Finance and the Faculty Director of the MSF program. 鈥淪tudents with a deep understanding of finance who can also converse on any of these subjects will enter the job market with a competitive advantage.鈥�

The program will also include professional development and a focus on leadership, negotiation and communication skills that will complement students鈥� technical knowledge and prepare them for longer-term advancement opportunities.

Also as part of these enhancements, students will complete the MSF program in only nine months, down from 12 months, appealing to those who want to return to or enter the workforce more quickly. The start date will shift to mid-August, giving students the summer months to pursue internship opportunities, study for the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exam and prepare for the MSF program. Classes will convene two weeks ahead of the rest of the University for an intensive quantitative seminar that sets the tone for the rest of the curriculum.
