Coprorate Finance and Valuation: The MSF concentration in Corporate Finance and Valuation provides the tools in accounting, financial analysis, capital budgeting, credit risk analysis and corporate governance to analyze and understand how corporate decision making drives a firm's performance and valuation.

Asset Management: Students in this concentration learn to evaluate investment opportunities, quantify risks and craft strategic plans around financial assets. The Asset Management concentration prepares students to manage investment portfolios with a strong quantitative skill set and sound qualitative judgment with a thoughtful global perspective.

Risk Management: Students in this concentration learn to develop and apply quantitative models to operational and market risks related to interest rates, credit, currencies and equities. They also learn qualitative risk management approaches that reflect managerial and organizational responses to operational risks, changes in politics and leadership, corporate governance and fraud detection as well as reputation and strategy risk.

FinTech: The FinTech concentration develops expertise in predictive analytics and programming applications for quantitative risk management, financial forecasting, corporate innovation and financial modeling. Students concentrating in FinTech will graduate with the financial and applied programming skills to manage and apply innovative technology in the financial services industry.
