Program Requirements
**This program is currently under revision.**
The Master of Management in Finance (M.M.F.) program is a twelve-month specialized M.M. program. The program is part of the Faculty's expanding portfolio of specialized MM programs. The distinguishing features of the program are: 1) a quantitative level well above the average current M.B.A. elective and 2) a close interaction with the private sector. The crucial 12-credit major paper requirement is fulfilled either by 1) completing a three-month internship on a financial project with a corporation and writing a detailed report; or by 2) writing an academic research paper. The program will contain an investment and corporate finance focus, and it will have an advisory board of executives from financial and non-financial corporations.
