As global environmental and social challenges shift, it’s never been more important for businesses to prioritize people and planet alongside profits. By acquiring advanced financial skills and a green-focused outlook, you’ll be equipped to become a valued asset in this dynamic business world.

Nova Southeastern University’s Master of Science in Finance will help you bridge the gap between core financial principles and socially focused practices. In this program, you'll learn how to:

  • Expedite eco-friendly progress by investing in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) funds.

  • Create financial models for renewable energy sources, electric vehicle conversions, and more.

  • Promote sustainable practices in all organizations by demonstrating cost-saving abilities.

HCBE’s STEM-designated Master of Science in Finance combines rigorous financial theory with the analytical and quantitative skills emphasized in STEM disciplines. This program prepares students to tackle complex financial challenges by integrating principles of mathematics and statistics with finance. Graduates are equipped to excel in various roles, including financial analysis, risk management, investment banking, and fintech, by leveraging their ability to apply quantitative methods to real-world financial problems. The STEM designation also underscores the program's focus on developing technical skills that are increasingly valuable in the data-driven finance industry, making graduates highly competitive in the job market. This program is particularly beneficial to international students who qualify to stay in the U.S. for up to three years after graduation by applying for optional practical training (OPT) with a supporting firm in the finance industry.
