In this flexible program, students build skills that they can apply in real time—and complete their degree on a part-time schedule.

Integrating Classroom and Professional Experiences

Learning by doing is a hallmark of a Northeastern MBA. Students apply their knowledge to actual business challenges through experience-fueled electives and class projects. Students benefit from the experience of their faculty as finance experts and business leaders who understand today's challenges because they've experienced them firsthand.

Develop Deep Finance Expertise

Students pursue a major in finance laser focused on financial theory and practice. Students gain advanced financial skills and high-level knowledge to drive financial strategy, increase shareholder value, support flexible operating models, minimize risk, and maximize revenue through the finance courses.

Students can gain experience performing equity research and portfolio management in a student-managed mutual fund, the 360 Huntington Fund. By participating in the Fund, students may earn 1 semester hour per semester with the option to fulfill a 3-semester-hour elective course requirement by participating for three terms. 

Select Up to Two Concentrations 

Students may specialize their degree by selecting up to two in-demand business concentrations. Students gain exposure to diverse perspectives as they build competencies in multiple disciplines. This combination prepares them to lead in a complex business world.
