NYU Courant - Mathematics in Finance Master's Program

[Philip_Mitterrand]

By looking at the content of the progran you wouldn't need any Math. That's pretty much half the program out of 33 credits.


CORE COURSES (15 CREDITS)
3 CreditsFinancial Accounting FRE-GY 6003
3 CreditsEconomic Foundations in Finance FRE-GY 6023
3 CreditsQuantitative Methods in Finance FRE-GY 6083
3 CreditsCorporate Finance FRE-GY 6103

Does anyone have idea of how non-math background(pure finance with some statistics) people would get access into such a program? Thanks a lot in advance.

I can't find this course on their website? Am I looking at the wrong place?

The closest I could find was
The Hong Kong University of Science & Technology

If I am looking at the wrong place please provide me the right link.

Thanks in advance

kevin - I got admitted to the program with a science major/no coding background, so a major in maths or strong coding background isn't a must by any means (though I am sure it would be very helpful).

Did you have a strong math background and if its not a compulsory pre requisite did you have to make up for it by being exceptional in other things? I am an Engineering student and I have good coding experience but not so much math. Would it be a stretch to think I have a chance?
