Finance & Management Science
Website: Finance and Management Science
The Master of Science in Finance Program offered by the Department of Finance and Management Science provides students with a theoretical background in contemporary finance issues and a strong foundation in empirical methods. The program can be used as a platform for students who wish to pursue a Ph.D. and it equips students with a competitive advantage in jobs that have a significant research component.
The two-year program features seminars and lectures in a small class size setting. A thesis is required in the second year. Due to the research intensive nature of the program and individual student supervision at the thesis stage, enrolment is limited. Only a handful of universities across North America offer programs that have a similar focus on financial research at the Master level.
Prospective students requiring more information about our program are invited to visit the M.Sc. in Finance website at Edwards School of Business or e-mail the program administrator at mscfinance@edwards.usask.ca.
