【项目特点】

卡耐基梅隆大学的Master of Science in Computational Finance 是美国最早开设金融工程专业的大学之一，一直都是申请者竞相追逐的目标。该项目由四大学院联合授课（Tepper商学院、数学系、统计学系、Heinz学院），注重于培养学生的统计、计算机、数学和金融四大领域的能力。卡耐基梅隆大学的计算机专业在美国与斯坦福和麻理并称美国第一，数学专业也非常出名，而商学院也位居美国最强之列，结合三者特征的金融工程就理所当然成为声明卓著的强专业。很多该专业的教授都是本研究领域的顶级专家。

For 23 years, Carnegie Mellon’s interdisciplinary, top-ranked Master of Science in Computational Finance program has prepared students for highly successful careers in quantitative finance.

Since its founding, Carnegie Mellon University has emphasized cross-disciplinary research and education. In this innovative tradition, the MSCF program was formed in 1994 as the interdisciplinary collaboration of the Department of Statistics & Data Science in the Dietrich College of Humanities and SocialSciences, the Heinz College of Information Systemsand Public Policy, the Department of Mathematical Sciences inthe Mellon College of Science and the Tepper School of Business. Thejoint venture between these four colleges enables MSCF to offer a tight integration of statistics, computer science, mathematics and finance - the four disciplines underlying computational finance.
