Prerequisites. Applicants are required to have taken the following minimal set of courses: •Calculus (two semesters) •Probability (one semester) •Linear Algebra (one semester) •C++ (one semester or certificate) •Finance (one semester, or relevant work experience) Only courses passed with a grade of B or better qualify as prerequisites. The following seminars are offered in the Pre-MFE Program at Baruch College to prospective financial engineering graduate students: •Advanced Calculus with Financial Engineering Applications •Probability Theory for Financial Applications •Numerical Linear Algebra for Financial Engineering •C++ Programming for Financial Engineering (online) The seminars emphasize financial applications and have a significant programming component. Successful completion of a seminar satisfies the corresponding prerequisite for admission. Taking the Pre-MFE seminars is NOT required for admission to the Baruch MFE Program, although they are meant to build a strong basis for future graduate studies in financial engineering. More details on the Pre-MFE Program can be found here.http://mfe.baruch.cuny.edu/pre-mfe-program/

Degree_The standard for admission into the Masters in Financial Engineering Program is the same for applications for part-time and for full-time study, as well as for applications from US-based and for international applicants. Successful applicants may have earned degrees in any discipline, provided that they demonstrate by way of test scores, undergraduate transcripts, and letters of recommendation that they are prepared for a demanding course of quantitative study. All applicants must have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited four-year college in the United States or its equivalent in another country.
