Immerse yourself in the emerging financial technology sector and gain a deeper understanding of the current and future fintech landscape.
Our Fintech Intensive for MBA students provides hands-on learning in financial technology. A confluence of events and trends have set the stage for large-scale technological disruption of the financial services industry. Financial institutions are keenly embracing the digital economy, and banks have renewed their focus on technology-driven products and market innovation.
The Fintech Intensive is designed for full-time MBA students preparing for careers in finance, tech companies, or entrepreneurship.
The structure of the intensive includes two courses taught over the first seven weeks of the spring semester. The Fintech Intensive exposes Two-Year MBA and Johnson Cornell Tech MBA students to startup ideas and ventures, technical concepts, and real-world case studies of technology applications in multiple areas of the financial services industry.
Students work in integrated teams formed from our full-time residential MBA programs. Through our collaborative and interdisciplinary approach, students work on a project that puts their coursework into practice.
