Q89: What's the proportion of MSF students to get the CFA?

Answer: While I'm not sure of the exact proportion, I do know that many students use the MSF degree as preparation for the CFA. Lisa in the Career services chat room may know more.

Answer: I would estimate that about 10-15% of the MSF students take the CFA during or right after the program.  We see them studying together.  It is entirely the choice of the student whether to take the test or not.  We haven't yet seen a direct correlation to getting jobs due to the CFA certification.

 

Q90: I am wondering will the program have specific courses or any specific assistance to help us pass the CFA test.

Answer:

 

Q91: I am a CFA level II candidate and hopefully will pass the level II this comming June. Will this help me to find a good intern and a job after graduation? I mean how much is the weight?

Answer:

 

Q92: Are MBA students pursuing CFA too?

Answer: some MBA students do intend to pursue CFA -especially those specializing in Accounting

 

Q93: Besides the courses required, is there any selective courses？like risk management?

Answer: as for the course requirements, you take 9-10 units of mandatory courses and then the rest are electives in your area of concentration. For instance, Advertising is an elective in marketing. International Labor Relations is in Global Business. So there are many opportunities to take courses in your area of concentration

Hi ***


Greeting! Thank for the email. I am willing to answer your questions.

1. The policy is you should have more than 3 units per semester unless it
is your last semester. For the hours on course, I think it depends on your
background and your attitude. If you have relatively strong background of
finance, you can spend less on your study. But still, you need avg. like
1-2 hours on your course if you want to get an A.

2. Clark is not that famous. So it could be hard to find your ideal job.
Especially we are international students, we need sponsorship for H1B
visa, which is even harder. Honestly, we don't have very famous company
come to our school, because we are really small.

3. I don't think it's that hard to find an internship during summer, there
are still lots of oppertunities here. We usually use our job searching
website to find internship or job. Sometimes, we have some job fair in
Boston area.

4. We have career course about interview or how to find a job bla
bla...here. Still, you should be more aggressive if you want to find a
good internship or job here.

I think if you want to find a very decent job like IB or something, you
better not to choose here, because companies here really focus on your
education background. If you have better school, just go there.

Did I answer all your questions? I hope so. Good luck.

Take care
