The Master of Finance (MFin) program provides advanced technical and practical training for finance jobs in a digitally driven world. Closely tied to professional practices, MFin’s curriculum is well-suited to preparing students to sit for the CFA examinations and obtain the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) charter.


This one-year, full-time program thoroughly prepares you for entry and mid-level finance positions such as risk management, asset and wealth management, real estate management and forecasting. Some of the long-term career paths include chief financial officer, chief risk officer, and portfolio managers at banks, asset management companies and investment funds.

The MFin program is STEM-designated and eligible students have the option to apply for up to 36 months of Optional Practical Training (OPT) upon graduation. This longer duration is especially attractive to companies interested in providing immigration sponsorship to international students. For more information about OPT and OPT STEM eligibility, please visit the International Center website.
