- The main objective of the Master of Science degree program in Quantitative and Computational Finance (QCF) at Georgia Tech is to provide students with the practical skills and theoretical understanding they need to be leaders in the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of the models used by the financial sector to structure transactions, manage risk and construct investment strategies.
- QCF is a multidisciplinary program sponsored jointly by the Scheller College of Business, the Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, and the School of Mathematics.
- Students have the option of pursuing the degree by enrolling full-time or choosing to do the program part-time. It should be noted that there is no separate part-time or flexible evening/weekend schedule. All part-time students take classes with full-time students.
- This typically requires some employer scheduling flexibility, since many classes are held during traditional daytime hours.
- It requires 36 credit hours and this program does not contain a thesis option.
