foundations with practical applications, and aligning with industry requirements to produce
graduates ready for the challenges of the 21st century.

Analysts, and Financial Planning Consultants.
The two options in the Honours program allow students the flexibility to choose between
completing the entire program at SRFMS or traveling to Bentley University for their fourth
year. Both options are underlined by unique selling points such as a curriculum aligned with
industry requirements, an intense focus on practicum, and support from the Institute of Cost

value with guaranteed placements in the USA, admission benefits, on-campus housing, and
