Master of Finance

Student Experience

Make Connections that Make Careers

You'll spend 10-16 months pursuing your masters in finance at Goizueta. During that time you'll forge lifelong friendships, immerse yourself in the world of finance, and explore all that Atlanta has to offer. From deep finance industry connections, industry practitioners as faculty, and corporate partners providing client-based projects, you’ll live and breath the world of finance and build a lifelong network.

Community Beyond the Classroom

  • Social Events

    Outside the classroom, our master’s in finance students engage in a vibrant calendar of social activities designed to build community and enhance your experience. From team-building challenges at the Leadership Ropes Course to fun outings like Top Golf, Six Flags, and Atlanta’s renowned Aquarium, there’s something for everyone. You’ll also have monthly KEGS (a social gathering Thursdays on Patterson Green) and cheer on Emory’s teams at campus games where you connect with classmates in relaxed, memorable settings that foster lifelong friendships.
  • Industry & Networking Events

    Our master’s program also provides exceptional industry exposure and networking opportunities to help you build valuable connections and gain real-world insights. Highlights include an immersive NYC offsite with visits to top institutions like HSBC, JPMorgan, Bloomberg, and the New York Federal Reserve Bank. You’ll also tour leading companies closer to home—such as the Atlanta Fed, Truist, and BlackRock—and attend a CFA networking event with financial industry professionals. Plus, many of your classes feature guest speakers from across the business world, bringing current industry perspectives directly into the classroom.

Leadership Development

Leadership development is a cornerstone of the master’s experience at Goizueta. Whether you're testing your skills on the Leadership RopesCourse, taking on a student leadership role, or managing real assets through Blue Eagle Capital, you’ll find multiple avenues to grow as a leader. You’ll also engage with top executives—like the CFO of Invesco and CEO of Lowe’s—through the Goizueta Distinguished Speaker Series, and sharpen your strategic thinking by participating in student competitions that challenge you to lead, collaborate, and innovate under pressure.
