Beschreibung des Programms

Our College of Business is Among the Top 5% Worldwide

The University of New Haven M.S. in Finance program is designed to prepare students to succeed in the competitive world of stock market trading and investment analysis. Students gain experience through a rigorous curriculum, internships, and real-world projects. Graduates of the program will know and apply the standard features of the three core areas of finance: investments, corporate finance, and derivatives. Students use sophisticated databases such as Bloomberg, Data Stream, Thompson, Reuters, Eikon, and others. Classes are small, and the program is comprehensive. The program consists of 10 three-credit courses, including a capstone requirement completed under faculty supervision. Visits to the New York Stock Exchange, the Federal Reserve, and other trips create an experiential atmosphere to give graduates the tools to advance their careers.

Hands-on Learning

Student-managed portfolios. Teams of the University of New Haven finance students compete to devise investment strategies for the DellaCamera Stock and Graduate Bond portfolios. The experience gives students the chance to use the investment evaluation methods they learn in class and apply them using real money.

The University of New Haven has been awarded entry to the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Institute’s University Recognition Program. This means that our degree program incorporates at least 70% of the CFA Program’s Candidate Body of Knowledge. Entry into the CFA Institute University Recognition Program signals to potential students, employers, and the marketplace that our finance curriculum is closely tied to professional practice and is well-suited to preparing students to sit for the CFA examinations.

Career Placement for M.S. Finance Graduates

According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, available positions for financial analysts are expected to grow 16% to 2022, higher than average. The likely employers are in the insurance industry, hedge fund management, and private equity firms. Specialty training is more attractive to the international market than the general MBA degree.

Preparation for the CFA Exams

Our CFA review courses will put you on the road to earning the Chartered Financial Analyst® credential, the most respected investment designation in the world. Faculty members will assist you in preparing for both the Level I and Level II exams.
