Financial Engineering (MS)

Finance and Risk Engineering Department

Program Description

The Master of Science in Financial Engineering (FE) is a 33-credit program designed to provide students with the skills required to operate at the cutting-edge of financial engineering in today’s financial services industry. The program is rigorous, demanding and selective. The MS in Financial Engineering is a well-established program with a diverse curriculum. Our faculty are recognized leaders in their fields, all with extensive practical expertise. They produce world-class research while teaching both introductory and advanced courses in small class settings. The financial and practical components of the educational program have been further strengthened by developing a large and versatile body of adjunct faculty consisting of leading financial market practitioners from major Wall Street firms as well as international affiliated faculty. These adjunct faculty members work closely with full-time faculty emphasizing both applied and theoretical research in bringing to financial engineering students a greater sensitivity to the needs and the demands of financial markets and the management of financial services and institutions. 

This program requires strong, deep knowledge of advanced mathematics as well as the ability to write efficient, effective code. For details, please see the MS FE website. The FRE department does not accept change-of-major requests from students in other NYU programs. In all instances, students must formally apply to this MS FE program.
