Master of Science in Financial Engineering

Financial engineering is the application of tools from finance, mathematics, computer science, and economics to the solution of risk management problems. Financial engineering techniques are used to address problem areas such as derivative securities valuation, strategic planning and dynamic investment strategies. The increased pace of financial innovation has multiplied the need for highly qualified financial engineers in investment banking, hedge funds, corporate risk management and regulatory agencies.


The interdisciplinary degree, Master of Science in Financial Engineering (MSFE), is designed for students with strong quantitative backgrounds who seek careers as a risk management officer, derivatives analyst or trader. The MSFE Program emphasizes applied skills in financial engineering but requires students to develop a solid understanding of the underlying theory. Our state-of-the art, on-campus trading floor uses advanced market software with live data feeds that simulates trading conditions and provides hands-on training to develop “Quants Who Can Trade.”
