Overview
The global financial crisis of 2008 has exposed the vulnerability of the banking and financial sector, and continues to raise complex issues regarding lending and the management of assets. There is no better time to study first-hand the causes and effects of the failure of numerous major financial institutions. As we move forward, high-caliber finance managers will continue to be in demand as opportunities for improvement and better practices arise.
The Master of Science in Banking & Financial Services Management is designed to prepare students for success in the fast-paced, dynamic financial sector by combining a solid foundation in general management practices with expertise in corporate finance, global markets, and the financial services industry. Students explore:
- Investments
- Managing cash
- Capital raising strategies
- Merger and acquisition processes
- Securities markets
- Corporate operations
- Defense measures against hostile bids
- Buyout transactions
- Analyzing financial statements
- Electronic commerce practices and their importance in both national and international markets
With appropriate advanced planning, you can use degree electives from your online Master of Science in Banking & Financial Services Management to satisfy up to two required courses in an Administrative Sciences graduate certificate program—leaving only two additional courses to be completed in order to receive a graduate-level certificate.
Requirements
Students must complete the six core management courses in addition to the four Banking & Financial Services specialization courses, and two additional courses.
