Ranked a "Top 10 Quant School" by Wall Street executives
Financial managers and related professionals are playing an increasingly important role in mergers, consolidations, global expansion, and financing, where their extensive specialized knowledge helps to reduce risks and maximize profit. The role of these professionals is also changing in response to technological advances; finance professionals now perform more analysis and serve directly with senior management in planning for profit maximization. The Rutgers Master of Quantitative Finance Program is a unique and exciting degree program designed to prepare you for employment in this interdisciplinary, technologically sophisticated, specialized field.
The program consists of 45 credits (30 core and 15 elective) and can be taken on either a full-time basis to be completed in three semesters (not including summer sessions) or a part-time basis to be completed in three years (not including summer sessions). All students must also take the non-credit "Introduction to Finance" course offered during the orientation week, and all full-time students must take the non-credit "Fundamentals of Career Planning" course.
MQF Internship is an integral and important enhancement to class lectures, readings, and student assignments. Internship provides students practical experience in the quantitative finance field with the opportunity to experience theory in the business environment. We strongly recommend students to seek part-time internship beginning with the first semester of the Program. In the final semester of the Program, students who need less than the full-time course load to complete the Program are permitted to obtain full-time internship.
