Description:

The Master of Science (MSc) in Finance is a research-based graduate business program. Students in the MSc Finance develop strong quantitative and analytical abilities, and a solid understanding of economic theory and research methodology. The small class size allows students to engage with their peers and faculty members while building a specialized network.

John Molson's research expertise ensures that MSc students work closely with a faculty member in developing their thesis in an area they are passionate about. Become an expert in your field with advanced analytical and technical skills valued by employers and produce the kind of research that is becoming increasingly necessary in public and private organizations. The program will also provide a springboard for those students wishing to pursue a PhD.
