FAQs
Our MiF Program is for recent college graduates in quantitative fields of study with limited work experience—curious and highly analytical thinkers who are passionate about finance and searching for a master’s degree that is challenging and transformative. Our MBA Programs provide students with a rigorous business education rooted in the fundamentals of business (accounting, economics, psychology, sociology, and statistics), preparing them for a wide range of careers both inside and outside of finance.
We offer three specializations: Asset Management, Investment Banking, or Fintech. We recommend that you choose a specialization, but we do not require it.
The Master in Finance degree is designated STEM-eligible for Optional Practical Training (OPT) purposes. International graduates on F-1 student visas who earn a Chicago Booth masters degree may be eligible to apply for an additional 24 months of training through work experience.
