New England College of Business launched a new concentration in its Master of Science in Finance (MSF) degree in Global Finance Trading. The new concentration is being offered in response to a growing worldwide demand for graduates trained in practical financial knowledge and an understanding of the processes and technologies of global trading.
The new Global Finance Trading concentration was developed through collaboration between New England College of Business and London Academy of Trading.
The Global Finance Trading concentration helps students adopt the strategies of maximizing trading gains while minimizing risks, learn to utilize fundamental analysis and technical indicators, and also acquire an understanding of trading psychology and risk management.
Dr. Ned Gandevani, New England College of Business, Graduate Finance Program Chair, indicated that research shows that some students lack training in asset management, and this new concentration stresses real-world scenarios to help students fill this gap in skill sets. “In addition to classroom training and theoretical learning, students manage assets through simulations,” Gandevani said.
In addition to acquiring practical skills, students also become familiar with processes and technologies used by finance professionals throughout the world. The program covers such areas as Foreign Exchange (Forex), commodities and stock indices.
