Financial Technology, MS Overview

Keiser University’s Master of Science in Financial Technology offers comprehensive education at the intersection of financial services and emerging technologies. The fintech program explores artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, data visualization, financial modeling, data analytics, and the regulatory landscape shaping digital financial services. Students examine how technology transforms payment systems, investment platforms, and financial decision making across traditional financial institutions and innovative fintech startups alike. Through real world projects and practical applications, graduates develop the financial knowledge and technical skills to lead innovation across digital payments, digital assets, decentralized finance, and financial software development.
 
The curriculum addresses key areas including mobile payments, digital currencies, portfolio management, risk management, corporate finance, and financial strategy. Working closely with faculty who understand both computer science and the finance industry, students explore how data analysis and information systems create new possibilities for financial inclusion, payment processing, and business intelligence.
 
Keiser University’s Graduate School co-created the Fintech program’s curriculum with industry expertise provided by Actuate Law. Actuate Law is a law firm that holds a specialty practice area in Finance Technology.  The firm supports companies in the following areas: payments & billing, electronic and mobile banking, retail & consumer banking, money transfers & remittances, alternative lending blockchain & digital currencies, artificial intelligence, and regtech privacy and security. Actuate Law considers the diversity of opinion a strength and stale ideas a weakness. And sure, they may have been founded by a team of Big Law veterans, and the team is made up of seasoned trial lawyers and legal professionals with stone-cold track records…but they believe you’ve got to know tradition in order to modernize it. Actuate Law does not see the firm as just lawyers, they themselves as counselors, strategists, advisors, fiduciaries, and friends.

Being able to solve problems and try to figure out what exactly happened and try to help whoever is the victim is amazing. In a smaller classroom setting you have more time with your teacher. A lot of times you’re just a name on a paper in a bigger class but in Keiser’s smaller classes format, it’s a little more personable, and one class at a time is very helpful.

I chose Keiser because of a good friend of mine. She graduated last year and hearing all the good things about the program really made a difference.

Honestly, they push you to be the best version of yourself.

I became a gym owner because I got the skills I needed at Keiser.
