Other Programs in QCF

Group #1 (Focused Programs)
Individually-Structured M.S. and Ph.D. Programs in Quantitative and Computational Finance. These are programs with courses from a range of disciplines specialized to the modeling and analysis of problems in quantitative and computational finance.
Group #2 (Programs with some QCF Courses)
MS and Ph.D. Programs with some Courses in Quantitative and Computational Finance. These are programs with a few courses specialized to the modeling and analysis of problems in quantitative and computational finance, and most courses taken from other degree programs. Some of these use courses from several degree programs; others use courses from mainly one degree program, either industrial engineering, or mathematics, or finance.
Group #3 (MBA Programs with QCF Connections)
MBA Programs with Tracks in an Area of Quantitative and Computational Finance.
Group #4 (Certification Academic Programs)
Graduate Certification Programs in an Area of Quantitative and Computational Finance. These programs tend to be significantly shorter in time and scope than the MS and Ph.D. programs, but have some specialized content in the area of quantitative and computational finance.
Group #5 (Academic Programs with Exam-Based Certifications)
Programs Directed to Specific Exam-Based Certifications in an Area of Quantitative and Computational Finance. There are several different types of certifications obtained through examinations that are related to quantitative and computational finance; some of these exams are discussed on this website. Several colleges and universities advertise that their programs will cover material directly pertinent to the most comprehensive of these certifications, the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Program, administered by the Association for Investment Management and Research (AIMR), with information at the website http://www.aimr.org/.
