Program Description
This program is designed for students with a B.A. or B.S. degree from an accredited college or university and at least two years of college mathematics including calculus, linear algebra, calculus-based probability and statistics, and computer programming. It addresses a relatively unfilled need for people with a combination of quantitative skills and financial knowledge. Currently businesses place a premium on modelers who have a combination of a strong background in financial theory and solid programming skills.

Typical Graduate Career Paths
M.Q.F. Program graduates are likely to find positions in Wall Street firms, such as banks, hedge funds, mutual funds, pension funds, insurance companies, consulting companies, and even financial software firms.
