ABOUT THE MSF PROGRAM
MSF is the first technology-intensive program at the McDonough School of Business. The program’s revolutionary approach to business education has redefined what it means to study at a top-tier university without physically having to be on campus. For example, classes are taught in the Blended Classroom where students have the option of attending in-person or online. As noted on the program’s website, the students also have a high aptitude and motivation for studying the most challenging aspects of finance and business education. The program has won consistent praise for its cutting-edge approach to business education, and the extraordinary career success of its graduates. The program is also regularly ranked among the top MSF programs in the U.S. As a result, it has grown from its initial graduating class of 31 students in 2015 to 330 students at the beginning of the 2024-25 academic year.
