We strive to provide the best education possible to our students. We try to improve the curriculum from one year to the next, to better reflect the current trends and the most active areas in the world of finance.

The MS Program in Financial Engineering at Baruch College consists of twelve three-credit courses. Eight of these course are required courses. Four other courses will be chosen from a group of electives. Students attending full-time would complete the program in three semesters. Alternatively, students may attend part-time for a more extended period of five to six semesters. All courses start after 6 pm. Students entering the program with exceptional mathematical or financial skills may be permitted to replace one or more of the required courses with additional electives.

The curriculum of the Financial Engineering program is designed to provide the students with the background required for modeling and solving problems that arise in the financial-service industry. Courses such as Object Oriented Programming for Financial Applications, Market and Credit Risk Management, Elements of Structured Finance, and Deal Theory and Structured Analysis are taught by practitioners from the financial industry, enhancing the practical knowledge and the financial engineering skills of our students.
