FAQs
The M.S. in Finance is aimed at accomplished professionals choosing to return to business school at the master’s level, but who wish to follow a more focused program devoted to learning and excelling in finance. While the Broad M.S. program offers a wider spectrum of finance courses in comparison to most other institutions with such programs, Broad’s M.S. in Finance degree is not appropriate for students seeking to gain general management education. These students are better served by emphasizing finance courses within MSU’s Full-Time MBA program.
