Career Development and Job Placements
The Master in Finance program from Princeton BCF is in a class of its own. Our exceptional job placement and career services are unmatched, while small class sizes and personalized attention give our students an advantage.
Princeton University’s Master in Finance program enrolls approximately 40 students each year out of around 1,000 applicants. Because of the program’s small size and selectivity, students are able to meet high academic standards and build strong working relationships with both the faculty and one another. Ultimately, these factors—combined with the program’s intense focus on recruiting and career development—result in an outstanding track record of graduate job placements.
Career Development Offerings
Princeton BCF ensures all Master in Finance students receive a wealth of resources for career development. These services begin at the very start of the program with our Master in Finance Career Boot Camp (which precedes the first week of classes) and continue through graduation.
Students are encouraged to attend BCF’s Career Development Workshops and Employer Events, featuring presentations and networking with recruiters, alumni and industry professionals.
Students have access to a dedicated career advisor throughout the course of their program, and also have access to a breadth of resources at the Princeton University Career Development Center.
In addition to managing the pipeline between students and top-rated firms, the center’s Manager of Career Development and External Relations, David Engel, regularly facilitates alumni mentorship connections. Students can meet with Engel at any point for practice mock interviews and resume reviews.
Princeton BCF Alumni Network
Princeton BCF is known for its strong alumni network and corporate affiliates, ensuring students and graduates make important connections and build lasting relationships in the finance industry. We rely on and appreciate the critical support of our alumni and our Advisory Council during the admissions and recruitment seasons.
