Financial Analysis - Portland State University

Financial Analysis from Portland State University is a Campus Master Finance degree that prepares you for a Business career. The MSFA Program The history of the MSFA degree at Portland State University provides insight into our mission. Developed in close cooperation with the business community, the program was initially created to provide a comprehensive ?big picture? business education for future Certified Public Accountants fulfilling their fifth-year education requirement. It soon became apparent that this broad-minded degree held appeal for a wider range of finance-related careers. In today?s average MSFA class, the student body is divided into thirds, with one group preparing for careers in public accounting, another group preparing for careers in investment management, and the third group preparing for careers in corporate financial management. The focus of the MSFA coursework is ideally suited for those interested in management-track careers in finance and accounting; many of our graduates ultimately seek CFO and partnership positions in their offices. The degree may be completed in 1 year for full-time students and in 21 months for part-time students. The MSFA Difference The MSFA degree is carved out of the finance and accounting coursework of our highly regarded MBA program. MSFA students share all but 2 courses with students and faculty of the MBA program, giving them access to the many resources of the School of Business Administration and the larger University. The MSFA program is divided into three key areas: 11 credits of business strategy and project experience 30 credits of financial analysis core courses 8 credits of financial analysis electives The MSFA curriculum provides students with analytic and forward-thinking skills in the application of accounting and finance. This prepares MSFA graduates to become high-level decision makers capable of integrating accounting and financial information to serve the needs of a business enterprise. Our goal is to cultivate future finance professionals with the vision to pursue sustainable financial management practices that reflect the core values of the PSU School of Business Administration and our Northwest community.
