Specialist Training

The USF MSFA program provides sophisticated specialist training in recent advances in quantitative financial analysis and economics.

Our program is structured around the areas of knowledge and the tools considered necessary for the Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA) examinations. MSFA is a 2-year program First year courses emphasize topics on the Level I exam. Second year courses emphasize topics on the Level II

exam.

Students will graduate from the USF MSFA program with the ability to understand and apply all the current theories and tools needed by finance and investment professionals today.

How are the MSFA and an MBA different?

The MSFA curriculum is structured solely around the areas of knowledge and skills deemed necessary for Investment Professional as determined the Chartered Financial Analyst designation by the CFA® Institute.

An MBA in Finance involves many courses that are outside of the finance area, often a majority of courses!

MSFA students receive training in areas deemed essential by practicing financial analysts and investment managers.

Students who complete the MSFA degree with a 3.5 GPA or better are eligible to earn an MBA in Finance from the USF School of Business with one extra year of coursework.

舊金山    USF

Claire Hou

食  ( 各國的美食都有喔 ) 吃外面 - 各國美食都有 但一餐平均 $10左右 學校後面的 geary and clement st. 上很多餐廳 可以吃到中國菜 日本菜 韓國菜

自己煮 - 附近有美式超市和中國超市 ,V&R的經驗 吃泡麵 水餃 蛋炒飯 有空煮咖哩 沒空吃土司煎蛋

Clement st.  小中國城 #38  生活用品都有 Irving st.  也有不少好吃的東西 ,不過有車的人去比較方便喔

衣 上網買 - 有些同學覺得美國的衣服不好看 就上網從台灣買再寄到美國 可以問 Fini 或是 Lynn兩位有經驗的同學

當然也有很多美國的網站可以訂購的 ,在家等就可以收到美美的衣服嚕

downtown- 要名牌或是休閒的衣服都有 ,逛街往那邊去就對哩

outlet- 是賣過季名牌的mall.  那邊可以買到便宜的名牌衣服

衣 舊金山的天氣真的很不穩定 ,小 v學長說就像女孩的心ㄧ樣很難捉摸呀 ,除了真的很熱很熱的時候最好還是要隨身攜帶小外套 ,早上是大太陽晚上還是很有可能起風有寒意的

出外唸書還是帶些方便清洗的衣服 ,直接丟洗衣機就可以了 ,當然也有乾洗的店不過價格當然是比台灣貴嚕

住住校 優點 上課方便 設備新 包網路 水電 洗衣 平常不會無聊 有室友可以聊聊天

缺點 貴 一個月平均一千塊 ; 遇到室友生活作息不同 會有糾紛 ,買菜吃飯也較不方便

校外 優點 便宜點 有自己的房間 住在 Geary附近買菜外食都很方便

缺點 多數洗衣服要拿到外面的店去洗 ,投幣洗衣嚕

    上課要通車會多花點時間

住  (關於找房子 ) 問學長姐有沒有要搬家 ,這是最快也最方便的

買世界日報 星島日報 有租屋廣告 上網找  craiglist.org Studio  的房子不太容易找 學校附近大多1000-1200

Two bed room  機會比較多也便宜很多 ,找個好室友吧

行 買車

到 DMV考駕照先 ,筆試不難也可以選擇以中文應考

路考就要靠自己實力嚕

不買車

舊金山搭公車很方便的 ,尤其是 38,38L

這些公車可以到學校也可以到downtown,找房子可以找這條路線上的

行 基本上 沒車是可以在學校附近生存的 只是買菜提上公車 或走回來有點累 但 V&R 已經這樣過一年了  F&C也是喔

最後一招 請有車的幫忙載一下  V&R 都來這套 (美男計 OR美女牌 ) 

快樂的享受舊金山的風光與生活吧                               ~End
