The deep financial knowledge and real-world experience I gained in the MSF Program allowed for a seamless transition into investment banking upon graduation.

Their expert advice and one-on-one advising was invaluable in helping me make decisions about my future.

Why You’ll Prefer Georgetown’s MSF Learning Platform
Become immersed in a rich learning experience using these innovative tools:
The Georgetown MSF Blended4 Experience: With our Blended Classroom approach, online and in-person students interact as if they are next to one another during the MSFLive sessions. While our program can be completed 100% online – with the exception of the required on-site residencies – you have the opportunity to attend MSFLive sessions in person whenever you’d like.
Anytime Media Platform: Each week, you work through the course material — at a time of your choosing — using our Anytime Media platform. The primary component of this technology is the Professor Presentations, a sequential series of high-fidelity videos in which professors speak directly to students with a virtual whiteboard. Each professor presentation includes comes with a searchable transcript so students can search key words or phrases and be taken to the corresponding moment in the video. Our Anytime Media includes practice problems, team discussion posts, and other materials.
MSFLive: The weekly culmination of each course unit is a 90-minute MSFLive evening session where you participate in a case discussion with your professor and classmates. Cases involve real-world business problems faced by actual firms and require you to apply what you’ve learned in your assigned readings and from Anytime Media. Students often use their MSFLive learning to address pressing business challenges in their daily work.
