The Executive MS in Finance prepares students for a leadership r= ole in the finance function. In this program, students will gain the techni= cal knowledge needed to understand current and new challenges in finance. S= tudents will learn to think strategically, make sound financial decisions, = and communicate their views effectively and persuasively.
The course of study starts with basics, builds on them, and concludes wi= th courses oriented toward preparing students with the knowledge needed to = manage future challenges. The highlight of the program is the International= Study Tour.
Curriculum
The primary focus of the required courses in the program is fundamental = financial concepts and models. The corporate finance course covers valuatio= n concepts and techniques, essentials of debt and equity securities, capita= l budgeting, and elements of corporate capital structure. The investm= ents course introduces students to Markowitz diversification theory, the ca= pital asset pricing model of asset returns, and emphasizes a range of appro= aches to investment management and evaluation. The quantitative metho= ds course covers essential statistical concepts needed in finance, value at= risk, and regression models.
In the advanced courses, students build on their foundational knowledge.= Case studies play a larger role in many of these courses, and challenge st= udents to learn by doing. These courses usually include advanced corp= orate finance, debt securities, derivatives, and international financial ma= rkets.
The concluding set of courses introduces students to new challenges and = frontiers in finance, and is more likely than the earlier groups of courses= to differ slightly from year to year. It includes the International Study = Tour, part of a course oriented toward international finance and business.&= nbsp; Courses in recent years have included financial risk management, vent= ure capital, corporate governance and ethics, mergers & acquisitions, a= nd equity investment analysis.
The courses are taught in three trimesters. Most of the foundation= courses are full 3-credit courses, and many of the others are shorter 1.5-= credit courses, especially the specialized topics courses later in the prog= ram. Altogether, the program has 30 credits.
The delivery and format of the EMSF program may be modified in special c= ircumstances. This may be done, for example, when given as part of th= e Zicklin International Executive Programs, or as part of a specialized pro= gram designed for a specific organization.
