The M.S. in FinTech at Menlo College is designed for students eager to advance their careers in the financial technology sector. Developed in collaboration with industry leaders, this financial technology graduate program prepares graduates to work in both fintech startups and established financial institutions. The program combines academic mastery of finance, blockchain, AI, and digital banking with hands-on, real-world applications, ensuring students gain the expertise needed to lead in today’s fast-evolving tech-driven financial landscape.
The MSFT program will obtain STEM designation from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). To meet DHS requirements for STEM designation, programs must dedicate 50 percent of their credit hours to courses in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics, a bar that these specialized programs meet easily.
With a focus on financial technology innovation, this program equips students to develop cutting-edge fintech solutions and lead in the digital finance industry. Through hands-on learning and real-world experience, students are well-prepared to navigate and drive change in the intersection of finance and technology.
