Program Requirements
The Whitman MS in Finance can be completed with 30 credits (typically one year) by students with academic backgrounds in finance, economics, accounting, and business. Students without academic backgrounds in these areas should expect a longer program as they will be required to take additional undergraduate- and/or graduate-level foundation courses as part of their program. The MS Finance program director reviews each student’s academic background and designs a program personally suited for the student.
