Weatherhead School of Management’s Master of Finance degree can take you anywhere in business. After challenging yourself through engaging coursework and real-world, project-based experiences at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½, you'll be prepared to work in a bank, an investment firm, a branch of the government, a consulting firm, or start a thriving corporate finance career.
A solid foundation in finance doesn't mean that your future has to be only in banking. The world of finance touches every sector of the economy. The Master of Finance degree can enhance an undergraduate degree with quantitative and analytical skills to begin a career in the field of interest, or set you off in an entirely new direction.

Personal Career Guidance, Support and Industry Mentorship
Every step of the way, Weatherhead students are supported by dedicated teams to provide career guidance, make connections and open doors. You'll have access to several networking opportunities, information sessions, industry events and more through our Career Management Office.
Direct resources available to students include:
- The Career Management Office (CMO), a team of experienced professionals who provide coaching, resume reviews, mock interviews and more. You are encouraged to connect with the Career Management Office early on in your academic program to gain the most from resources and services such as career assessments, career fairs, job listings, events with employers and alumni, resume reviews, coaching and much more.
- A dedicated program director and program manager who will connect with you one-on-one before your arrival on campus and support your career goals.
- A mentor from the finance profession that is aligned with your specific career interests. Each mentor has no more than two students and meets with students in person at least several times a year. Mentors are pulled from alumni at leading companies that have recently hired our students—for example, Amazon, Beese Fulmer Private Wealth Advisors, BNY Mellon, Cohen & Co, Deloitte, Farmers Insurance, Guggenheim Partners, KeyBank, McKinsey, and Woodside Health.
