Program Requirements
Students may complete the dual degree program of Master of Finance (MFin) and the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program in as quickly as five semesters by completing 81 credits hours of coursework in 2.5 academic years. Independently the Master of Finance degree is 30 credit hours and the MBA Program is 60 credit hours.
9 credit hours are double-counted for both degrees. This reduces the total number of hours required for the two degrees.
Students may also complete an additional 9 credit hours of Master of Finance coursework to receive departmental certification in a track of specialization, by taking appropriate additional electives.
MFin/MBA students may enroll only on a full-time basis, except during summer sessions. Dual degree students must receive both the MFin and the MBA degrees simultaneously upon completion of degree requirements. After completion of both degree programs, two separate diplomas are awarded. Coursework for both programs must be completed within six years of the date of initial enrollment in either program.
