The Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management and the Mathematical Sciences faculty collaborate to jointly offer the Financial Engineering Management, MSFE and Financial Engineering, PhD degrees. The programs prepare students to design, evaluate, and manage modern complex financial instruments used in investment banking and corporate finance. The mathematics component provides the computational toolbox of analytical techniques needed to analyze and evaluate such instruments. The management component provides tools to interpret institutional needs and goals in the design of a portfolio of appropriately constructed instruments.
Applicants to the program should have a strong undergraduate background in mathematics, experience in computer programming, and familiarity with mathematical software. Students will acquire the necessary management tools during the course of the program.
Special Programs
Dual Degree Programs. Dual degree programs allow CGU students to work toward and earn two degrees at the same time.
Students who wish to pursue the MSFE degree in addition to another CGU degree must complete a minimum of 40 units, which would be in addition to and beyond the units required for the second degree. Upon approval, the MSFE Program may accept up to 8 units from the second degree program to meet the 48 units required for the MSFE degree.
Students interested in a dual degree with MSFE should meet with the Financial Engineering program coordinator. Dual degree program models are available for students in Economics, the Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA), and the Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs.
For complete information regarding dual degrees, refer to the Registration and Degree Information section of the Bulletin.
Accelerated Degree Program. Claremont Graduate University offers qualified students at the undergraduate Claremont Colleges the opportunity to begin the MSFE degree while completing undergraduate study. The applicant usually applies to the program during the junior year and, with the guidance of both the program coordinator and the undergraduate advisor, takes up to 16 units of coursework that may be counted toward the graduate degree. Following their baccalaureate graduation, the accelerated degree student is able to complete the MSFE with one additional year of study.
