Master in Mathematics in Finance
申请此专业只接受GRE，GMAT不接受
Background Required
To gain admission, whether full-time, part-time, or non-degree, an applicant must demonstrate a high aptitude for quantitative reasoning. He or she must have a firm grasp of mathematics at a high undergraduate level, which includes at least the following Mathematics courses:
Multivariate calculus多变量微积分(through partial derivatives偏导函数, multiple integrals多重积分, and Taylor series泰勒级数)
Linear algebra 线性代数(systems of equations方程组, determinants行列数, factorization因式分解, range and null space零空间, and eigenvalues of symmetric matrices)
Calculus-based course in probability (independence, conditional probabilities, Gaussian distribution, law of large numbers, central limit theorem). 微积分
Work experience is not necessary to gain acceptance into the full-time program, though it can be helpful for finding a job after the program.
Full Time Masters in Mathematics in Finance: A three semester professional masters degree with the expectation that students are seeking positions in the financial industry. Entry into the full-time MS program can be made ONLY in the fall. Students take 4 courses per semester, participate in the weekly Masters Seminar, and usually do an internship during the summer between the second and third semesters. While the program is not able to guarantee placement in summer internship positions, we do have strong contacts within the financial community and offer significant help by distributing resumes to prospective employers and hosting on-campus interviews. The track record of our students receiving summer internships is extremely strong. We place heavy emphasis on job placement, with assistance given to resume preparation, interviewing skills, and access to our growing network of contacts.
