How difficult is MSF curriculum?
I am am going to be a senior next year at a non target and thinking that a MSF would be a good idea to rebrand myself and my gpa. My question is how hard is the msf curriculum? I am a >3.0 and do pretty well in finance related classes due to my work experience but not the best student overall. Would I have a hard time at a msf and how high does my gpa need to be while im there to secure a job at graduation? I think a program like nova would be good for me due to the tight knit group of students.
Depends entirely on where you go for it
my top choices are nova and vandy but will also apply to uva and duke for their mms programs
It is graduate level coursework. I know of no MSF where the material is "easy". The programs where you take MBA classes can be "easier' than MSF programs where the classes are restricted to just MSF students. That being said, I would consider it a notch or two above undergraduate studies at the very least.
If you are a current finance student and can handle the material during UG, I think you'll be fine. You don't need a 4.0 to land a job so don't stress yourself. Some classes will be hard and others will be a lot of group work. The people who really struggle are those who were more of a liberal arts UG and those who really struggled during their UG work. You should be fine.
How would you rate duke and uva vs nova? I'm more interested in msf but I feel like those brand names could help a lot. I'm interested in ibd or S&T but wouldn't mind consulting either.
As long as you have a decent understanding on the basics of accounting and finance you should be fine.
