Add on a MBA with a Finance Concentration

If you want to continue your education, your MS-FAIM coursework will count toward a Saint Mary's MBA with a Finance concentration. This accelerated program allows you to earn an MBA by completing the eleven additional courses listed below. You may qualify to have the three foundation courses waived based on tests or academic transcriptions.

Foundation Courses

• Managerial Accounting
• Operations Management
• Management Communication
• Legal Aspects of Business

Core Courses

• Organizational Behavior and Management
• Marketing Management
• International Business
• Ethics and Social Issues of Business
• Industry Analysis
• Business Strategy
• New Business Development

If you want to qualify as a full-time student—to satisfy visa requirements, for instance—you may take an MBA course while completing the MS-FAIM Program. This would allow you to meet the MBA requirements within three to six months after completing your Master of Science degree. If you are an international student, the two courses that you must take each quarter in the MS-FAIM program will satisfy the course-load requirement for a student visa.
