Program Overview | Why MSFS? |
Who is this program for? | Learning Process
The M.S. in Financial Services is a focused graduate program tailored for working professionals. The course is structured in order to not only strengthen your foundations in finance but also help you gain advanced knowledge in financial
disciplines. The program has a fine mix of academic rigor and discussion on current issues from the world of financial services.
The teaching approach of the program is framed to build on class dynamics,
with the experience of your classmates playing a major
role in the overall learning process.
When you join Saint Joseph's University, you become part of a closely knit community with an incredible support system which is
in keeping with the Jesuit ethos of spirit,
intellect and purpose. Responsiveness that you experience from the university system starts right from the time of your initial inquiry about the program and remains consistent through your graduation and beyond. Graduate education calls for significant commitment on your part, more so when you are trying to balance it along with job and family. We understand and extend our earnest support as a true partner in your endeavors.
