Introduction
Why pursue a Master in Financial Management Degree at North Central College?
Take flexible 100% online courses from anywhere in the world! They are designed to help you balance your work, life, and school. A Master in Financial Management (MFM) degree represents a hybrid between accounting and finance, providing you with the skills necessary to launch your financial career. The curriculum integrates aspects of accounting, taxation, finance, and economics to emphasize the skills and mindset necessary for you to be a successful finance professional and reach your career goals within the financial industry.
If you earned an undergraduate accounting degree, our MFM degree and certificate options help you meet the 150 credit-hour requirements to sit for CPA exams in most states, while providing you with more specialized training than a general MBA degree.
