What is the benefit of pursuing a degree in financial mathematics?
There are a variety of masters programs in financial mathematics at pioneering institutions such as the University of Chicago, New York University, Columbia University and Carnegie Mellon. The programs teach the key mathematical, statistical and computational methods of financial engineering along with financial theory and practical courses about financial markets and financial instruments. These programs are relatively new, but have been successful in placing students in a variety of positions – including trading, risk management, portfolio management and quantitative analyst positions – at top tier financial institutions around the world.
