The MIT Sloan School of Management has announced a new application round for its Master of Finance program beginning July 2012. This new round will have a submission deadline of March 15th.

MIT Sloan’s degree is a one-year program designed to prepare students for careers in the financial industry. It consists of required and elective courses, a pro seminar and an optional Master’s thesis. MIT Sloan accepts professionals well into their careers, but the M-Fin program primarily targets recent graduates with 0 to 2 years of experience. Recent graduates of post-graduate programs in math, science and engineering who wish to enter the finance profession are also encouraged to apply.

As part of this new, third M-Fin application round, applications will be due on March 15th and decisions will be released by April 13th.
