Bendheim Center Master In Finance Program
|
|
The Bendheim Center for Finance was established in 1998 to encourage interdisciplinary research in finance, primarily from a quantitative or mathematical perspective. The Center offers an undergraduate certificate in Finance, introduced in the Fall of 1999, and a Master in Finance, introduced in the Fall of 2001. The Center hosts approximately twenty Ph.D. students who work with its faculty. The center also supports research activities of the faculty and students, organizes seminars and events and maintains a large financial database. The distinctive feature of the Princeton University Master in Finance program is its strong emphasis on financial economics in addition to financial engineering and computational methods. Graduates of our program have a solid understanding of the fundamental quantitative tools from economic theory, probability, statistics, optimization and computer science, all of which are becoming increasingly vital in the financial industry. Master in Finance Program The Master in Finance program is intended to prepare students for a wide range of careers both inside and outside the financial industry, including financial engineering and risk management, quantitative asset management, macroeconomic and financial forecasting, quantitative trading, and applied research. The program does not require prior work experience, although it can be a plus. The curriculum is designed to be completed in two to four semesters, with students coming well-prepared able to complete the curriculum in as little as two semesters. The length of study is a function of the student's prior knowledge of the field and experience. It is determined on an individual basis. Princeton’s Master’s program draws upon the combined strength of a variety of departments at Princeton, including the Department of Economics, the Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering, the Department of Computer Science, and others. The program has two major course components. First, required core courses will provide (1) the prerequisite skills in mathematics, economics, and probability and statistics necessary for the study of finance at a sophisticated level and (2) an integrated introduction to modern financial analysis. Second, a wide range of elective courses, drawn from many departments, will allow students to tailor the program to fit their own needs and interests. These courses will permit a range of opportunities for specialization and in-depth study of topics of interest to the student, along a number of coherent tracks.
