Students should have completed an undergraduate degree with a major in statistics, mathematics, or a closely related discipline, such as physics, engineering, or computer science. Students from all over the world are encouraged to apply to the FSRM program. The majority of our applicants have not worked in finance and do not already have a graduate degree, though we will consider students who have related work experience (which can be very helpful in securing an internship) or those who already have a master's or PhD in other subjects. Successful applicants must demonstrate a high aptitude for quantitative reasoning. They must have a firm grasp of mathematics and statistics at a high undergraduate level, which includes at least multivariate calculus, linear algebra, and statistical methods. Basic skills in computer science and computer programming are also a prerequisite. More detailed information is available at our prerequisites and requirements page. In addition to fulfilling other admissions requirements, successful applicants to the Financial Statistics and Risk Management (FSRM) master's program will have completed courses in single variable and multivariable calculus, linear algebra, advanced undergraduate statistical methods, and computer programming.
