About Mathematical Finance, M.s. in University of North Carolina at Charlotte
The Master of Science in Mathematical Finance program is designed to prepare students to pursue careers in quantitative finance. Increasingly firms of all types, but especially financial institutions, investment banks, and commodities firms, rely upon highly sophisticated mathematical models to identify, measure, and manage risk. The advent of these models triggered the emergence of a new discipline, Mathematical Finance. This discipline, sometimes also referred to as “financial engineering,” “computational finance,” or “quantitative finance,” requires professionals with extensive skills in both finance and mathematics.
The Mathematical Finance program at UNC Charlotte is a joint program of the Departments of Finance and Economics in the Belk College of Business and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. Students take courses from all three departments in an integrated curriculum. Students may use electives to tailor the program to their specific interests.
