Sloan School of Management – MIT - Master of Finance

MIT Sloan Master of Finance Program Structure

The MFin program at the MIT Sloan School of Management is an 12-to-18 month STEM focused specialized masters program. The 12-month option is for applicants who wish to earn their degree in a more timely manner, while the 18-month option allows students to be more flexible with their schedule and complete an optional internship during the second year.

The program begins in July, regardless of which length of time students wish to earn their degree. During the program, all students receive CDO advising and advice for full-time recruiting, in addition to completing a required action learning segment.

Curriculum

After completing the mandatory orientation sequence in July, students begin the summer semester with required foundational courses, of which include: Finance Theory; Corporate Financial Accounting; Financial Mathematics; and/or Advanced Mathematical Methods for Financial Engineering.

The fall term (September to December) features required advanced subjects, action learning, and the beginning of elective coursework. Elective work is centered around concentration options, of which students are allowed to take only one during their time in the program. The concentration options are: financial engineering; capital markets; and corporate finance.

The spring term (February to May) features mostly elective courses and the option to complete a Master’s Thesis. Those in the 18-month track continue their education through the following summer and fall terms, which include an optional internship opportunity and more time to complete their thesis.
