Earn your Master of Science in Finance

Harness econometrics for business solutions

In the rapidly changing economy, business leaders need an advanced command of financial principles and intuitive insight to lead organizations and drive financial decision-making. The full-time, STEM-designated Master of Science in Finance program at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School will prepare you to analyze data, implement change, and impact the long-term sustainability of businesses around the world.

The program features a financial econometrics concentration, preparing you to sit for the CFA exam. Build the quantitative skills and learn the role of computational, statistical, and econometric techniques in financial decision-making.

Choose between the 12-month or 15-month program

Complete your full-time finance degree in 12 months or 15 months. The 12-month program is ideal for those looking to gain a degree in one year to enter the workforce right away. The 15-month program provides students with the opportunity to gain practical experience in the summer term, rather than taking Carey courses.

“You’re in class with the brightest students. Just the name Johns Hopkins attracts top students from all over. I was more local having grown up in Baltimore, but we had such a global class. It was a great experience to learn from so many perspectives and be challenged academically while studying real business cases.”

Madison Aldave, MS in Finance ‘17
