Graduate Certificate in Financial Systems Engineering (FNSE)
Motivation
Financial systems engineering is a cross-disciplinary field which relies on mathematical finance, numerical methods, and computer simulations to make trading, hedging, and investment decisions, as well as facilitating the risk management of those decisions. The graduate certificate in FNSE is intended for students who want to advance their knowledge in global financial systems, financial engineering, and financial decision analysis. Students get an understanding of the theory and/or tools of the financial systems, derivatives, investment analysis, and risk management. The certificate may be pursued concurrently with any of the graduate degree programs in the Volgenau School of Engineering (VSE).
Admission Requirements
The
FNSE certificate program will be open to all students who hold a BS degree in
scientific and engineering disciplines from an accredited university program,
with a GPA minimum established by VSE for all MS programs. Students who are
already enrolled in a master's program must submit an application form to enroll
in this certificate program; all others must apply for graduate admission to
this certificate program. This graduate certificate may only be pursued on a part-time basis.
Certificate Requirements
To be eligible for a certificate in Financial Systems Engineering, students must complete three required courses (9 credits) plus one
elective course (3 credits) with an average grade of B or better. The three required courses are:
- SYST 538 Analytics for Financial Engineering and Econometric
- SYST 588 Financial Systems Engineering I: Introduction to Options, Futures and Derivatives
- SYST 688 Financial Systems Engineering II: Derivative Products and Risk Management
The elective course must be selected from the following:
- OR 645 Stochastic Processes
- OR 682 Computational Methods in Engineering & Statistics
- SYST 584 Heterogeneous Data Fusion
- SYST 671 Judgment and Choice Processing and Decision Making
- Courses designated as basic methods courses may also be used as the elective.
