Sample Programs of Study

Several sample programs of study are now given. These differ in the student's choice of Electives Path and length of study in the Program. These student choices necessarily depend on the student's planned career path related to the Program. Information about sample jobs and firms related to different aspects of quantitative and computational finance are given on this website.
