  "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 a mathematical course on stochastic processes and a practitioner's course offering hands-on practice to learn financial software tools. There is also a programming course with a focus on learning to use software to present technical material to a not necessarily technical audience. 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: Eighteen individuals finished graduation requirements in Master of Financial Mathematics (MFM) in 2009 and Eleven individuals in 2008. Here's a link to photos of graduation the parties.

The first Master of Financial Mathematics (MFM) class was held at the University of Minnesota in September, 2007. The Financial Math Association organized a trip to Oxford Global Partners, a hedge fund in Minneapolis. Michael Shutze shared his knowledge on foreign exchange trading at the Oxford's mansion. We took some photos: in the first picture is that we are standing in front of a limo Oxford provided; the second photo is inside the limo; and the third one is in front of the mansion of Oxford Global Partners.
