Graduate Program in Finance
Master of Science in Finance (MSF)

Program Description

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.

Coursework is available in Derivatives and Risk Management, Investments and Portfolio Analysis and Management, Corporate Finance, Securities, Financial Institutions and International Finance.  The courses combine to deliver a rigorous program of study and a relevant body of knowledge for finance professionals. The Master of Science in Finance is fully accredited by AACSB-International. The MSF degree serves as a cornerstone program of Loyola's Sellinger School—the premier provider of leadership education in the Baltimore-Washington region.

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 part-time 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.
