The NYU Courant Master of Science Program in Mathematics in Finance at New York University is a professional master’s program ... founded in 1999. Since the beginning, the program has had a strong pragmatic component, including practically oriented courses and student mentoring by finance professionals. Our graduates know more finance than most science graduates and have stronger quantitative skills than most business graduates. Before joining us, they have obtained undergraduate (B.S.) and/or graduate (M.S. & Ph.Ds) degrees in quantitative areas such as computer science, data science, economics, engineering, mathematics, and/or physics. They are admitted to the program through a highly selective process. At NYU Courant, students experience a tightly integrated curriculum that provides an efficient and rigorous introduction to the computational, practical and theoretical skills that are genuinely used and valued in the industry. Some of our program’s strengths include: • Its ensemble of courses created specifically for our program; • Extensive direct involvement of fellows and other finance professionals; • Strong participation by faculty in teaching and mentoring students; • Great depth in relevant areas of applied mathematics, computer and data science, and quantitative finance; • Our strong internship and job placement record; and • Our location in New York City, a true focal point of the financial world. read more
