What to know before you apply
- The MSBA–Finance is a cohort-based, one-year program (10 courses, 30 credit hours).
- Applicants are reviewed for quantitative readiness—backgrounds in economics, finance, statistics, math, physics, computer science, engineering, CMDA, or similar fields are ideal.
- GMAT/GRE scores are not required for the inaugural cohort but are expected to be required beginning in the second year.
The program welcomes new students in the summer II semester and reviews applications on a rolling basis, so early application is encouraged.
