The Texas Master of Science  in Finance (MSF) Program at the McCombs School of Business provides a unique opportunity for students to receive graduate-level training in order to prepare for careers in finance, especially those requiring analytic rigor and quantitative skills.  The program is explicitly designed for students from non-business backgrounds, or from business disciplines other than finance.  No previous work experience is required, and the program can be completed in less than a calendar year.
