Master's in Finance Cost and Return on Investment

Master's in Finance

Cost & Return on Investment

Let’s get right down to ROIs.

In as little as one year, Eller’s Master’s in Finance program prepares you for lucrative careers in everything from financial management and planning to investment banking and beyond. In fact, the program is ranked number one in the nation for employment rates, and tied for number one worldwide.

Program Cost

The Arizona Board of Regents has not finalized tuition past Spring 2024. The figures below are an estimate of the expected charges and other expenses.

Registration and UA fees may vary depending on the number of credit hours of registration in a given semester (for Arizona and non-Arizona residents). Please note that the cost of a part-time program is more expensive. Tuition is charged based on units registered but is not calculated on a straight pro-ration. The UA Bursar's Office schedule of Tuition and Fees can estimate the tuition and fees charged for fewer than full-time credits.

Tuition & Fees per Semester

Arizona Resident

$13,178

Non-Arizona Resident

$22,805

*Regular tuition and fees are based on taking a minimum of 9 units on main campus per semester. Tuition and fees are based on Fall 2024 and could change for future semesters.


Scholarships

Competitive, merit-based scholarships are available for early applicants. Awards are available based on date of application and strength of incoming metrics such as GPA, work experience, relevance and professionalism of application materials such as the personal statement and resume.


Financial Aid

We believe the very best education shouldn’t be cost prohibitive—and the Master’s in Finance from the Eller College is one of the best values in graduate education. Our reasonable tuition and the low cost of living in Tucson result in a quick, positive return on your investment.

The Finance Department has very little resources for giving scholarships.  However, admitted students may apply for scholarships in Scholarship Universe, our scholarship-matching tool.  Scholarship Universe connects Wildcats to millions of dollars in internal and external scholarships.

Many students choose to take out a loan to pay for all or part of the costs associated with attending the Master's in Finance program.

Loan programs available to MSF students include:

  • Federally sponsored (Stafford) loans – for U.S. citizens only
  • Alternative private loans – for U.S. and international students

All offer competitive interest loans repayable upon completion of your degree.

Eligibility for need-based grants, loans and scholarships is determined by completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form available on line . Many funds are limited, so those students who have their FAFSA completed by March 1 each academic year receive priority processing.

Applicants must have been admitted to the MMF program before The University of Arizona Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA) will make financial aid awards. Graduate students must be enrolled at least halftime in order to receive federal loans.
