Partner School Program Overview
Although the Master of Science in Finance program typically begins in the summer of each year, students from partner schools will have their summer courses waived and can begin in the fall. This reduction of credits will lower the overall tuition expense and shorten the total length of time in the program.
Students from the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics as well as Chongqing University can enjoy an additional 15% tuition discount, as a result of this partnership.
