Students are exposed to dynamic investment strategies and complex structured products for equities, fixed income, currency, commodities and other financial markets. The program balances academic rigor through a technically challenging curriculum, with practical applications. The MFE Program trains students for positions as risk managers, investment bankers, asset managers, derivative traders and developers of specialized securities at the world's leading commercial and investment banks, insurance companies and corporate and public treasury departments. The specialized one-year MFE curriculum integrates mathematical, statistical, and computer science tools with finance theory as applied in institutional settings. MFE students are challenged with a curriculum that is solidly based on the business school paradigm of providing students not only with technical knowledge, but also with the business knowledge and skills they will need to function in management position in the financial industry. As part of the MFE Program students learn not only computational methods but also much of the foundational business knowledge taught in the UCLA Anderson MBA Program, including areas such as accounting, economics, econometrics, finance and much more. The Internship/Applied Finance Project serves as a capstone to the MFE curriculum.
