Master of Business Administration in Finance and Investment (MBA)

Maximize Your Career with an Online MBA Degree in Finance 

Marywood University's MBA program provides general business administration knowledge and focused training in one of three areas of concentration. We will teach you not only how to become a successful business leader, but how to do so in a way that is ethically, socially, and environmentally responsible.

Finance and Investment

The Finance and Investment concentration is designed to (1) provide a working understanding of the financial decision-making process in profit and nonprofit organizations and (2) introduce the candidates to the functions of the financial market. This concentration is for career-oriented students in commercial and investment banking, corporate planning and treasury functions, and short-range and long-range domestic and international financial planning. The focus is on financial tools and techniques in acquisitions, divestments, and investment analysis for domestic and overseas operations.

Convenient, Online Courses for Busy Professionals

You can earn your MBA at Marywood in as little as two years, either on-campus or online. Our online MBA degree in finance includes courses that are delivered in real-time and recorded for future reference. Students are encouraged to participate in live discussions with professors and other students through a virtual classroom experience that offers maximum flexibility for busy professionals.

Personal Attention from Experienced Faculty

Courses in our MBA program are taught by industry veterans with extensive management experience. Prior to joining the faculty at Marywood, our professors have held senior positions at General Motors, US Airways, Harper Collins, Exxon, and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), to name a few.
