Bernard M. Baruch College, more commonly known as Baruch College, is a constituent college of the City University of New York, located in the Flatiron district of Manhattan, New York City.
History
In the Fall 2002, the Mathematics Department at Baruch College introduced a new Master program Applied Mathematics for Finance. The program was initiated by Dr. Matthew Goldstein, Chancellor of The City University of New York, when he was President of Baruch College, and was established under the direction of Executive Vice Chancellor Alexandra Logue, then Dean of the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences at Baruch College.
The program was later renamed Masters in Financial Engineering in the Fall 2007 to reflect the growing number of practitioners teaching in the program.
Academics
Over the years, the program has transformed from theoretical, mathematical focused into a practical, computational focused with many new cutting-edge courses being offered as a result of suggestions from its alumni, teaching adjuncts and industry connections.
