Students entering the program will have opportunities to work, in groups, on important corporate finance problems with consulting firms, investment banks, and public or private firms. The Quantitative Master's in Finance is designed explicitly to train individuals for quantitative research and modeling positions - typically at investment or banking firms. These positions require knowledge of advanced statistical techniques and computer programming as well as advanced training in finance. Students interested in this track must have extremely strong quantitative skills. Typically, applicants have graduate degrees in quantitative disciplines such as mathematics, physics, or engineering.
Admission is on a competitive basis with only three to six students selected each year.
Prospective students will be interviewed either in person or by telephone.
