By the time August rolls around each year, the clock has already started for the students in Goizueta Business School’s Master of Finance program. They have 10 months to absorb all the knowledge they possibly can from this highly experiential program.
Out of this year’s incoming class of 48 students, nearly half of them bring previous work experience with them to the program. It is this variety of backgrounds and perspectives that can create a more enriching learning environment. In addition, 21 percent of the class has another Emory University degree, and 32 percent of the group are women.
This year’s cohort represents countries from around the world, including Austria, China, Dominican Republic, Hungary, India, Nepal, Norway, Russia, Spain, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and the United States..
“Already in its third year since inception, the program’s enrollment has grown by almost 50 percent. This year’s diverse cohort of students represents 12 countries from around the world, and 60 percent of our students received their undergraduate degree from a U.S. university,” says Zuzana Hlavacova Gurung, associate dean of Goizueta’s specialized masters programs.
When May approaches, this new group of students will be well-equipped to launch or elevate their finance careers in sales, trading, investment management, fintech, or investment banking. The program has an impeccable job placement rate, too.
“With 97 percent career outcomes for our first graduating class, we cannot wait to see what this year’s class accomplishments will be,” says Gurung.
