As noted above, it's very rare for an MS Finance program to require work experience. There's this false idea circulating around that a year or two of experience is needed or strongly desired for admission. It can be helpful if the experience is meaningful and you can articulate it well as part of their overall candidacy, but it's far from a requirement.

Technically, MBA programs don't require work experience either, but unlike MS Finance programs it's extremely rare to get in without at least 2 years of experience (save for deferred MBA programs.)

You should go one by one with each of the programs on your list and make sure if you hear otherwise. You can easily see the prerequisites in the application checklist or you can simply email/call the Admissions Office to find out directly from the source.
