Strategic Partnership Between Özyeğin University and Fordham University Provides Opportunity to Earn Two Separate Diplomas in Global Finance Education

A newly created agreement between Özyeğin University and Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business offers Özyeğin M.B.A., Executive M.B.A., Financial Engineering (FERM), and Data Science students and graduates a unique opportunity to receive a globally recognized finance education in New York City, as well as a second diploma.

Through this agreement, connecting two leading business educational institutions, students of Özyeğin University’s Graduate School of Business will have the opportunity to specialize in international finance. They will also have the opportunity to learn from distinguished faculty members at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business, situated in the heart of New York, the world's business capital. The experience will enable them to build lasting professional relationships and benefit from a truly distinctive experience.

Students who are registered for the FERM, Executive M.B.A., or an M.B.A. program, along with MSc. students and graduates of the Data Science program at Özyeğin University, will be eligible to earn a second master’s degree in finance by participating in the 7-week Collaborative Master’s Program held in June and July each year at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business.

Through this strategic partnership, participating students will have the opportunity to receive two separate diplomas — one from Özyeğin University and one from Fordham University — thereby enhancing their global career prospects. They will gain first-hand exposure to Istanbul’s emerging financial markets and New York’s Wall Street ecosystem. Students will expand their global professional network by building strong connections with leading financial institutions, multinational corporations, and alumni networks in both cities. Moreover, through Fordham University’s prestigious programs, they will advance their knowledge and skills in areas such as finance, risk management, and global investment strategies.

Within the scope of the program, M.B.A. and Executive M.B.A. students will strengthen their leadership skills and financial acumen with a global perspective, while Financial Engineering (FERM) and Data Science students will have the opportunity to deepen their expertise in technical fields such as derivatives, computational finance, and financial engineering in a world-class academic environment.

For those aiming for a global career in finance and seeking to combine academic expertise with international experience, early applications for Özyeğin University’s M.B.A., Executive M.B.A., and FERM programs will be submitted in December this year. Individuals who have graduated from these programs within the past 5 (five) years are also eligible to apply.
