The MSF program offers advanced education for individuals with specific career interests in the areas of financial management and applied financial research.  It builds upon a bachelor's or master's degree in business administration.  Qualified individuals with degrees in economics or other quantitative disciplines are also encouraged to apply.  The MSF degree emphasizes the theoretical foundations of finance and quantitative methods in financial management.  Students will be engaged in applied research and modeling, using a variety of large professional databases and computer software packages.  The international and regulatory dimensions of finance are also explored in depth.

 MSF informational interviews are offered at GW throughout the year by appointment.  The faculty can arrange to hold informational sessions for interested groups off campus.  Open houses are held throughout the year to introduce prospective students to the goals, faculty, and curriculum of the program.
