To apply for graduate students majoring in finance in the United States, you should know the professional breakdown of master of finance. At present, there are three kinds of masters in finance in the United States:
Financial Engineering Financial Engineering-Financial Engineering emphasizes the background of mathematics and computer, so it is difficult to apply. The employment direction is mainly related to futures, securities and other industries, with high wages but few employment opportunities.
Financial Finance-The application for financial major is relatively difficult, but theoretical. As far as international students are concerned, the employment situation is not as good as the other two directions.
Financial Analyst Financial Analysis-The major of financial analysis is different from marketing and human resource management, and its hard skills can be used in any country. At the same time, foreign students majoring in this major not only have high employment rate and high salary, but also are quite respected in the United States. In addition, it is much less difficult to apply for a master's degree in this major than other master's degrees in finance. However, in general, financial majors are still difficult to apply for. Moreover, due to the high return on funds and fierce competition in the future, there are few scholarships in this subject, so the possibility of winning the prize is relatively small. If you want to win the prize, you must have a strong background to support it.
Master of Finance (MSF) is the most common master's degree in finance in the United States. Representative universities include Johns Hopkins University, Washington University in St. Louis, University of Rochester, Boston College, Champagne, Illinois, Pennsylvania State, Case Western Reserve, Purdue University and University of Delaware. A few schools, such as the University of Maryland, have a professional name of MFIN (Master of Finance), but the essence is no different from MSF.
It is worth mentioning that although the master of finance does not require undergraduate majors, it usually requires applicants to achieve excellent results in mathematics (linear algebra and calculus) and probability statistics at the undergraduate level; Financial engineering majors pay more attention to students' computer (C++) scores. Students who have not studied these courses at the undergraduate level (or students who have studied but have poor grades) may be required to make up relevant basic courses before entering the postgraduate course (for example, Washington University in St. Louis stipulates that students who need to make up basic courses have a master's degree for three semesters, and the total tuition fee is $52,065; Students who don't need to take such courses only have two semesters, and the total tuition fee is $44,055.
