Mathematical Finance
Sophistication and innovation in the financial markets create demand for mathematical finance skills. To exploit opportunities and manage risks, financial institutions and corporate finance organizations actively seek qualified people who demonstrate advanced capabilities in finance, investments, mathematics, modeling, and software applications.

The concentration prepares and qualifies students for corporate careers as well as graduate study. Students who enjoy mathematics or seek quantitative careers in finance are strongly encouraged to consider our Mathematical Finance concentration.
