Bachelor in Finance / MSc in Finance and Investment Management (MSFIM) in Fairfield United States | Sacred Heart University

Students enroll in the dual degree program as first-year undergraduates, gaining simultaneous acceptance into both the undergraduate and graduate programs. Those in the dual degree track secure a spot in the Master of Science in Finance & Investment Management program, contingent upon maintaining specific academic standards throughout their undergraduate studies. This early admission guarantees graduate program placement from their freshman year, with defined milestones to advance into the graduate curriculum.

Alongside guidance from their undergraduate advisors, engagement with Welch College of Business & Technology initiatives and Economics & Finance department resources offers robust support for transitioning successfully into graduate-level work.

The MSFIM Dual Degree Program enables students to obtain both a bachelor's and master's degree within five years. They finish their undergraduate requirements in four years, then complete one additional year of graduate coursework to earn both degrees. This accelerated path is available to undergraduates majoring in:

Business Economics
Finance
Dual degree candidates can apply up to six graduate credits during their undergraduate studies, counting toward both degrees. This approach reduces overall graduate tuition costs, as these credits are covered under full-time undergraduate tuition fees.
