金融硕士对本科背景的要求是什么？,美国留学DIY助手微信公众号文章

之前有篇文章介绍了美国大学的金融硕士项目属于STEM的几个学校，今儿再给大家讲下，这个专业对本科所学专业是否有要求。为啥总围绕金融说事儿？谁让它最火呢~~

在申请研究生阶段，总有一些学生想着转专业，其实在美国，转专业的体系是非常灵活的。但这只是从理论上来讲，从现实操作中，还是需要参考你本科的课程设置以及你在要转专业上所下的功夫，所有的建树。对于金融专业而言，它对学生本科的专业要求并不是很严格，也就是说我是非金融背景的学生也是可以申请的，但有些学校会对你本科修过的课程做一个要求，也就是所谓的先修课程的要求。今年，我们一个学生，本科是信息工程，转申金融专业，就很顺利的拿到了约翰霍普金斯大学、杜兰大学、康涅狄格大学等录取。但对于某些学校，在定方案前，还是要研究好他们对先修课程的要求。具体给大家列举几所常申院校：
