Master of Science [M.S] [Finance] From University of Rochester

The MS in Finance program can be completed through an accelerated 10-month study track or expanded into a 17-month track with an internship option. Students choosing the option to extend their program will be eligible to seek an internship, but are not guaranteed placement in an internship.

In addition, this STEM-designated program qualifies eligible graduates on student visas for an optional practical training (OPT) extension, allowing them to remain in the country for an additional 24 months. The STEM designation is also an indication of the quality and rigor of the program, which are factors of significant importance to students and recruiters alike.
