Classes are taught by faculty who are experts in modern financial theory and its applications. All courses are taught by CUNY faculty flown in from New York . CUNY faculty members are known for blending cutting edge theories with practical business applications to make each class an exciting and rewarding experience.

The EMSF degree leads to careers in the area of corporate finance, investment banking, management, quantitative research, trading, arbitrage, operational risk and derivatives within investment and commercial banks, corporate treasuries, software firms, insurance companies, and other financial institutions.

The EMSF at the American Graduate School of Business and Economics is an affiliated program of the Baruch College at the City University of New York.
