Curriculum

The curriculum of a financial engineering program is, by definition, cross-disciplinary. The ability to generate close collaboration and enthusiasm among a number of different academic departments is crucial to the success of any quantitative finance program.

Carnegie Mellon, created in 1967 as the merger of the much older Mellon Institute and Carnegie Tech, has long enjoyed a reputation of successful cross-discipline initiatives. Maintaining this tradition, the Computational Finance Program is the joint venture of four colleges within the University, the Tepper School of Business, the Mathematical Sciences Department, the Department of Statistics and the H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management.

It is the willingness of these four colleges to work so closely together, coupled with their outstanding faculty, that has made the MSCF program the premiere program of its kind.
