Q: Can I extend the length of the program?  我能延长项目么?
A: No. The program is designed to be completed in oneacademic year, starting in the summer and ending in spring of the followingyear. Exceptions are only allowed in the case of serious illness, with awritten recommendation from a U.S. physician. 不能.项目开始于夏天,结束于次年的春天,总共一个学年。特例情况也有,但是是针对严重的疾病,并且有美国医师的书面建议。

Q: Can I complete the program on a part-timebasis? 我可以边工边读么?(part-time)

Please note that thestart date or class schedule days may change from year-to-year based on currentenrollment numbers or other reasons. 从周一到周四,课程的安排根据需要而定。学生会有自己的课程表。但是需要注意的是,课程开始的日期每年都会有变动,主要是根据当年的招生人数和其他原因而定。

Q:Will I take classes with other graduate business students at the Freeman School? 在Freeman,我是跟其他研究生一起上课么?
A: MFIN students take all core courses with fellowMFIN classmates, but would have limited opportunities to take classes withother graduate business students in elective courses.  Students can bolster their interaction withother graduate business students by participating in various student organizations. MFIN学生跟其他MFIN的同学一起上所有的核心课程,但是在选修课上则有机会跟其他专业的学生一起。MFIN的学生可以通过参加各种学生组织跟其他专业学生互动。

Q:Will the Tulane MFIN program prepare me for the Chartered Financial Analyst(CFA) exams? Tulane MFIN项目能帮助我准备CFA(注册经融会计师)的考试么?
A: Asa Program Partner with CFA Institute, Tulane’s MFIN Program has been shown tocover at least 70% of the material on the Level I CFA exam. It should bepointed out that a student could take a set of electives that do not coverCFA-related materials, and therefore reduce their preparation for the exam. TheMFIN program should also not be thought of as a review session or “cram course”for the CFA exam. CFA suggests an average of 250 hours of preparation for eachexam. Your coursework within the MFIN program at Tulane should be thought of asone part of a multi-faceted preparation process as you sit for Level I of theCFA exam. 作为CFA机构的项目合作伙伴,Tulane的MFIN项目覆盖了至少70%CFA Level1所要求的材料。但是需要指出的是,有的同学可能会选修一些跟CFA不相关的选修课,从而减少了准备CFA的学习时间。同样,不要把MFIN项目看做是为CFA考试做准备的复习课程或者补习课程。CFA建议每个考试最好是250小时的准备时间,在MFIN项目中的课程可以当做只是准备CFA Level 1考试一个方面而已。

Q:What are the advantages of the Tulane MFIN being designated as a CFA ProgramPartner? 作为CFA的项目合作伙伴,Tulane的MFIN项目有哪些优势呢?
A: Tulane’s status as Program Partnerallows several benefits for our students. First, we offer several awards eachyear to help students defer part of the cost of taking the CFA Level I exam.Second, a workshop is given each year on the Ethics portion of the CFA Body ofKnowledge using materials provided directly from CFA Institute. Third, TulaneMFIN students have access to a free online practice test to help them preparefor the Level I exam. Lastly, CFA provides data feeds to a variety of financialmarket news and analysis for our students to review during their studies atTulane. 作为CFA的项目合作伙伴可以给我们的学生带来很多便利。首先,每年我们会提供一些奖励来帮助学生减少因为参加CFA考试而带来的开销;其次,每年都会针对CFA考试中Ethics(职业道德)部分给学生提供研讨会;第三,Tulane的MFIN学生可以免费参加在线模拟测试帮助他们应战Level I的考试;最后,CFA会给Tulane的在校生提供实时的关于金融市场动态和分析的数据。

Q: May Idefer my admission to the following year? 我可以延迟一年入学么?
A: TheFreeman School does not defer admission decisions; however, we keep allapplication materials on file for two years. If you have previously applied to program, please contact the Office ofGraduate Admissions for information on reactivating your application. Freeman商学院是不提供这种延迟入学服务的。但是,我们会保留你的申请材料2年,如果你之前申请过该项目,你可以联系招生办去激活你之前的申请。
