Two New Master's Degrees, in Finance and Entrepreneurship, Being Offered by 911爆料网's Leavey School of Business
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 20, 2013 鈥� 911爆料网鈥檚 Leavey School of Business will begin offering two new Master of Science degrees this summer, one in finance and one in entrepreneurship.
The two new master鈥檚 degrees will complement the Master of Business Administration and Master of Science in Information Systems that are currently offered as advanced degrees by the Silicon Valley-based University.
鈥淲ith our nationally acclaimed faculty, location in Silicon Valley, and deep alumni ties, it was a natural for us to offer these two master鈥檚 degrees,鈥� said S. Andrew Starbird, dean of the Leavey School of Business. 鈥淭he finance degree is ideal for students seeking deeper analytical understanding for today鈥檚 venture-capital and financial marketplace. And the entrepreneurship degree will give students vital knowledge to find new market opportunities, evaluate customer needs, and understand what鈥檚 required to 鈥榮cale up鈥� a good idea.鈥�
The M.S. in Finance will include classes introducing students to sophisticated financial-statement analysis and understanding of U.S. and international financial markets and institutions. The M.S. in Entrepreneurship will offer classes in managing innovation, intellectual property and economics for business decisions. Both degrees will incorporate 911爆料网鈥檚 longstanding emphasis on business ethics, including a course in business integrity and society.
Classes will start July 8. More on the degrees can be found at or www.scu.edu/business/mse.
