The second class of sixty new students started their studies on April 1, 2002, in the Master’s in Financial Engineering (MFE) Program. The MFE program prepares candidates with superior analytical skills for a growing niche of quantitative finance careers.
The class of 2003 is represented by an international group of highly educated scientists and professionals. 92% of the class is multilingual. While 20% of the class already holds a Ph.D. or are Ph.D. candidates, 45% hold a master’s degree in another field. Top professions include finance (28%), engineering (13%), consulting/management services (17%), and research and development (19%). Almost 20% of the class performed in the top percentile of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).
Upon completion of the one-year MFE program, students go into investment banking, corporate strategic planning, risk management, portfolio management, and securities trading. Led by world-renowned faculty from the Haas School, UCLA’s Anderson School, and UC Irvine’s School of Management, students learn to employ theoretical finance and computer modeling skills to make pricing, hedging, trading and portfolio management decisions. Courses and projects emphasize the practical applications of these skills.
