A FORWARD-LOOKING FINANCE PROGRAM

The MS in Finance is designed for the next generation of financial leaders, those ready to drive meaningful change in an evolving global economy. Built around four core pillars—Sustainable Finance for a Changing World, The New York City Advantage, Mastering Emerging Tech, and A Comprehensive Approach to Finance—this program empowers students to integrate ESG principles, cutting-edge technology, and hands-on experience at the heart of global finance.

As part of the program, you’ll choose one of three career-focused specializations:

  • Global Markets & Asset Management: gain the tools to analyze markets, manage portfolios, and understand asset allocation in a global context.
  • Financing & Alternative Investments: delve into corporate finance, private equity, venture capital and innovative investment vehicles shaping today’s financial strategies.
  • Sustainable Finance: explore how financial models can drive long-term value by aligning profitability with environmental and social impact.

The program culminates with a Capstone Project, where you’ll put your knowledge into practice by solving real-world financial challenges for leading companies and institutions.
