The Master of Science in Mathematical and Computational Finance provides students with the theoretical knowledge as well as the practical methods and skills needed to begin or enhance careers as quantitative analysts in the financial industry.

  Because of the evolving nature of financial markets and institutions, practitioners in this field must be ready to learn new ideas and methods across a broad range of disciplines including mathematics, statistics, computational science, finance, and economics.

  The program aims to provide the multidisciplinary foundations preparing quantitative analysts for this life-long development of skills and understanding.   Students should have a mathematical background equivalent to that of a typical undergraduate major in the engineering, physical, or mathematical sciences.
