Master
of Banking and Finance (MA)
School of Business

Atlantic International University
The Master of Banking and Finance (MA) program
objective is to provides students with a
deeper understanding of the field that allows
the student to analyze and solve financial
issues. The program provides a unique learning
experience where formal knowledge transfer
of technical concepts is rooted in business
practice. The Master of Banking and Finance
(MA) program is offered online via distance
learning. After evaluating both academic
record and life experience, AIU staff working
in conjunction with Faculty and Academic
Advisors will assist students in setting
up a custom-made program, designed on an
individual basis. This flexibility to meet
student needs is seldom found in other distance
learning programs. Our online program does
not require all students to take the same
subjects/courses, use the same books, or
learning materials. Instead, the online
Master of Banking and Finance (MA) curriculum
is designed individually by the student
and academic advisor. It specifically addresses
strengths and weaknesses with respect to
market opportunities in the student’s
major and intended field of work. Understanding
that industry and geographic factors should
influence the content of the curriculum
instead of a standardized one-fits-all design
is the hallmark of AIU’s unique approach
to adult education. This philosophy addresses
the dynamic and constantly changing environment
of working professionals by helping adult
students in reaching their professional
and personal goals within the scope of the
degree program.
