14 March, 2026Ohio State's STEM-designated Specialized Master in Finance (SMF) program begins with a pre-term, followed by a fall semester spent building in-depth foundational finance knowledge. You'll personalize electives and hands-on learning experiences to prepare you for a finance career.
MASTER THE TOOLS: Today's finance roles require cross-disciplinary skills. At Fisher, you'll learn how to use financial software, solve real business challenges, dive deep into finance issues and build the leadership abilities necessary to excel as a high-performing finance professional.
SELECT YOUR PATH: Choose from four specialization tracks - corporate finance, investment management, risk management or real estate - and collaborate with peers and engage with specific employers in those areas. You can even create and forge a unique specialization track.
ALL UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS WELCOME: The SMF program is a diverse, global experience that welcomes non-business students who possess quantitative aptitude. No work experience is required.
