  "Where students consider their options and plan their futures!" Are you pursuing a career in quantitative finance, with an interest in learning more of the underlying mathematics? Are you interested in mathematics with an eye toward starting a career in quantitative finance? The Mathematics Department at the University of Minnesota has a professional Master's program, and it may be for you! The degree is called Master of Financial Mathematics. It is more mathematical than an MBA. The program offers a range of courses, from theoretical to practical, including mathematical courses on stochastic processes, statistics and numerical analysis, as well as a course taught by practitioners which offers direct experience with the software tools used in quantitative finance. There is also a programming course which strengthens the other coursework in the program by teaching "hands-on" skills that complement the concepts taught. Courses are offered in the evenings to accommodate working professionals. The program is designed so that a full-time student with a good undergraduate background in mathematics has the possibility of graduating in one-year; several of our students have done exactly that. Questions? Try looking at the MFM FAQ page or contacting mfmath@umn.edu. News and information: In January 2009, we will offer our first Finanical Mathematics Modeling program. For more information, click here. There is now a Financial Mathematics Association run by (and for the benefit of) MFM students.
Our program has been designated a
Professional Science Master's program.
