Curriculum
The Quantitative Finance track curriculum is focused around advanced
Mathematics, Finance, Accounting, and Economics. Courses in computer
programming are also required and encouraged.
For the specific courses required in the Quantitative Finance track, please see the
requirements page.
Upon completion of the Quantitative Finance certificate program, each student will have completed:
• 22 hours of mathematics
• 25 hours of finance and accounting
• 13 hours of economics
• 3 hours of programming
The courseloads listed above are minimums. We
encourage our students to take as many additional challenging courses
as possible in these areas, especially Accounting. Because the
requirements for our program are oftentimes roughly equivalent to
majors or minors in these areas, many of our students decide to add
these areas as second majors and minors.
In order to combine the various skills of each area, our
program has created a final "quantitative finance seminar" course. This
enables students to utilize their strong mathematical education in the
context of finance and economics.
