The purpose of this list is to give prospective students and employers an overview of our program. It should not be used by students as a scheduling resource.

If you are a student in our program and you need help regarding your scheduling decisions, please download the more detailed program guide, or contact an advisor.

Also remember to direct degree requirement questions to your assigned advisor, not your quantitative finance program advisor.
