That’s why our program guides you through learning components that prepare you to manage your career progression for years to come.
Simon proudly boasts a fully endowed Career Management Center. Our career education and professional development model focuses on ongoing innovation and evolution and shifts with the changing marketplace so that we–and you–can remain on the cutting edge.
Career enhancement is of primary importance to our students. Whether you are just starting out, or exploring new options, Simon’s Benet Career Management Center (Benet Center) is here to partner with you in:
This process begins before you’ve even set foot on campus, with an introduction to the Benet Center and its team members.
Our orientation program is differentiated for Masters and MBA students, so your journey structured specifically for your academic experience.
This is where you’ll align with professional development opportunities through Career Action Teams, Alumni Spotlights and Corporate Information Sessions, as well as gain access to certification training, experiential learning initiatives, and national vendors like Wall Street Prep.
As your educational journey concludes, you will step away from the Simon Business School with skills and experiences that will equip you for life-long career success.
At the Benet Center, we are always innovating and evolving. We use cutting-edge practices and technology to ensure that you’re prepared for the graduate level professional opportunities that await. Through networking opportunities, résumé development and mock-interview workshops, we provide comprehensive support and training that positions you for a job at graduation.
Our Career Action Team will partner with you to shape your aspirations and make you better tomorrow than you are today. We’ll assist you as you work to execute job search strategies, prepare for interviews, negotiate employment offers, and more.
Our MS Career Directors begin working with you even before you set foot on campus. Over time, they’ll come to know your technical and leadership skills, your career aspirations, and guide you on how those unique attributes can position you for success. Your Career Director can help you assess your background, explore your options, develop positioning materials, apply for positions, and will support you as prepare to interview.
Simon Business School is globally focused; we have one of the most diverse student bodies of any business school, and our career development strategies reflect our domestic and international reach. Whether you’re exploring professional opportunities within the US or across the world, we will help you find a job that is not only right for your skillset, but which will enable you to reach your long-term career goals.
Full-Time MS students can choose between internship and non-internship tracks to accommodate students with differing goals. The non-internship track has a shorter timeline, but the benefits of the internship track are many.
Full-Time MS students can choose between internship and non-internship tracks to accommodate students with differing goals. The non-internship track has a shorter timeline, but the benefits of the internship track are many, including a wealth of valuable real world experience that can prepare you for career success, and help differentiate you from other candidates during your job search. A majority of our students choose this path for the hands-on experience and career preparation it provides.
Students are encouraged to consider the value that internships offer. Hands on experience in the workplace is a great way to gain a competitive edge. While valuable, an internship is not required and it is important to note that we can’t guarantee placement. Some MS students choose to study for the CPA or CFA exams during the summer term instead of pursuing an internship. Talk with the Admissions Office about which track is right for you, and get more information on the Full-Time MS in Finance Program in our course catalog.
