Optional Concentrations

Students are able to complete one of four available concentrations: capital markets, corporate finance, financial engineering or impact finance. Completing a concentration is optional and is not a degree requirement. Students are only allowed to complete ONE concentration.

The Impact Finance concentration is a new addition to the MFin program. This concentration will be available starting in July, 2021. In addition to core courses in Social Impact Investing and a Fin-Lab impact-focused project, there will be an opportunity to take an elective from several course offerings. Students can supplement academic coursework with clubs, centers, and initiatives. A sampling of these activities includes:

• Mi3 - MIT Impact Investing Initiative
• MIT Sustainability Initiative
• MIT Legatum Center
• MIT Net Impact
• MIT Energy Initiative
• MIT Solve

The concentration requirements are in addition to the MFin degree requirements. Courses counted toward your MFin degree requirements may not be counted toward your concentration. With the exception of 15.455 and 15.457 for the FE Concentration, courses taken to satisfy a concentration cannot be counted towards the MFin Degree Requirements.
