Finance 4+1

Why study finance at Geneseo?

This program allows Geneseo undergraduates to complete both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in an accelerated format, saving both time and tuition. The University of Rochester’s Simon Business School STEM-designated MS in Finance teaches students to leverage analytics and quantitative tools to solve financial challenges and excel in careers such as investment management, corporate finance, and risk management.

 By beginning MSF coursework during their senior year, students may move directly into graduate-level study while still benefiting from Geneseo’s close faculty mentorship and small-class environment. The program welcomes students from any major; applicants must have successfully completed one calculus and one statistics course at Geneseo.
