Is This Program Right for Me?
As financial markets have become more sophisticated and more globally-integrated than ever, it is vitally important for financial managers at all levels to have both types of skills—in-depth financial knowledge as well as general management skills. With this goal in mind, this unique program is designed to balance the technical dimension and managerial practice of finance in a way that is not usually achieved in general MBA programs.
This program is right for you if you want to become a well-rounded finance professional who not only understands financial markets and instruments, but also has the managerial skills needed to make important finance decisions. We seek to bring students with significant work experience across diverse backgrounds together to cultivate different streams of thoughts. We encourage you to learn more about us and to take advantage of this career-enhancing learning experience!
