Masters of Science in Financial Services | Course Materials

All course materials are graduate level. IBF designation programs were developed internally; all MSFS courses use textbooks that are currently used by graduate schools throughout the country. The textbooks are supplemented by IBF study guides and sample questions.

You'll receive the following with each course:

• Access to an online education portal which includes:
  • Course Syllabus
  • Learning Objectives
  • Discussion Questions
  • Activities and Projects
  • Exams on Demand
• Online academic guidance and support
• Comprehensive textbook
  • All MSFS courses (MS600’s) do not include books, books must be purchased separately and average about $100.

Credit for each core designation program (5 required) is dependent on passing three multiple-choice exams plus a 2-5 page case study. Each MSFS course (6 required) includes two multiple-choice exams and the cap stone course (1 required) is dependent on submitting a 10-20 page financial plan.

Once enrolled, students have up to five years to complete the MSFS program. Some students have completed the program in as little as 18 months.
