Currently I am enrolled in the Master’s in Finance program at the Suliman S. Olayan School of Business (OSB) at the American University of Beirut, which is one of the top universities in the Middle East. With a background in finance and microfinance, I found that, among the many values OSB has to offer, critical thinking is of utmost importance. Of the MFIN courses that I took, "Quantitative Methods of Finance" was the most interesting because it goes deep into financial details and markets, providing many foundational tools used in investment decision-making. The program benefited me by sharpening my critical thinking, improving the way I deal financial issues, as well as developing my analytical and research skills.
