Finance & Management Science
Website: www.edwards.usask.ca/programs/mscfinance
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’s level.
Prospective students requiring more information about our program are invited to visit the M.Sc. in Finance website at www.edwards.usask.ca/programs/mscfinance or e-mail the program administrator at mscfinance@edwards.usask.ca.
