In addition, services and products built on finance-related technologies (FinTech) is also on the rise providing tremendous new opportunities. Our Master of Finance program will prepare graduates for these financial-specific careers in the complex regulatory environment of banking, investing, risk management and real estate, and give them the leverage to succeed in the evolving finance industry,” said Jon Kaplan, interim director of the Master of Finance and assistant dean of the Full-Time MBA program at the Merage School.
