5. The
Program

The Rotman MFin program provides premier theoretical and applied training in finance.
The curriculum supplements and extends beyond that of the Chartered Financial Analyst
(CFA) and other professional finance designations. Typical MFin students have an
undergraduate degree, and several years of work experience in a finance-related field.
MFin students bring a wealth of experience from the financial services industry into the
classroom. They are able to study finance at a more advanced level than students in
general business programs, and are able to apply their classroom training immediately
to real life situations in the workplace.
