The name "Financial Mathematics" means that we focus on the rigorous mathematical understanding of quantitative methods underlying financial problems. Our MS students share core courses with our beginning PhD students (see the MS and PhD pages for more details), andwe are also one of the few mathematics programs in the US offering a PhD specifically in Financial Mathematics.

Highlights

• Thirteen Mathematics faculty members support the program, along with faculty from Statistics, Economics, Finance, Scientific Computing, Computer Science, and Risk Management.

• Graduates of the program find employment as financial quants in industry and government, as actuaries, and in academia (see the alumni page).

• The MS degree may be earned as a terminal degree or en route to the PhD, and carries the Professional Science Master's designation.

• Distinguished industry professionals and alumni visit each Spring for our annual Financial Mathematics Festivals.
