WHY AN
MS IN FINANCE
MAY BE THE BEST OPTION TO ADVANCE
YOUR CAREER
Get Started
An MS in Finance can be a valuable degree with lots of opportunities. Many finance professionals consider an MS in Finance or other options such as a Master of Business Administration. The best way to decide which degree is right for you is to consider your career goals and personal preferences. Consider the following factors when making your decision:
- Your work experience. Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs typically require at least two years of work experience, while MS in Finance (MSF) programs typically do not. If you have less than two years of work experience, an MSF may be a better option for you.
- We do not require any work experience. Find out more about the University of Oklahoma admissions requirements.
- Your career goals.Think about what you want to achieve in your career. If you are interested in a specialized career in finance, an MSF may be a better choice for you. If you are interested in a more general business education, an MBA may be a better option.
