Loyola’s Master of Science in Finance (MSF) program builds
upon prior degrees in business, accounting, economics,
engineering, liberal arts and sciences. Our students often
acquire the MSF as they prepare for many of the professional
certifications required today, such as the Chartered Financial
Analyst or Certified Financial Planner examinations.
Taught by a highly-regarded full-time faculty and professionals
from the public and private sectors, Loyola’s Master of
Science in Finance emphasizes applied knowledge through the
utilization of modeling, and the study of global and regulatory
dimensions of the finance profession. Corporate responsibility,
ethics, and regard for the individual are value-added components
to Loyola’s rich learning environment, delivered in the
spirit of quality Jesuit education.
Financial expertise, in depth knowledge, and practical, hands-on
training have become crucial for the success of companies and for
the career of working professionals. Loyola's MSF program meets
this demand with a 10-course, 30 credit hour, MSF program
delivered in a weekday evening format, at graduate campuses in
Timonium and Columbia. The program can be completed in as little
as 12-15 months of intensive study, or in 18 – 30 months of
continuous part-time enrollment. Considerable personal investment
is expected of our students. Our experience suggests that these
benefits are long-term and significant and translate into your
professional development as you become a highly-trained and
competent finance professional.
