The Financial Mathematics program, one of four graduate mathematics programs at FSU, is supported by ten faculty members of the Mathematics Department along with 20 other associated faculty in five additional Departments. This interdisciplinary program offers master’s and doctoral degrees (M.S., Ph.D.) in computational and mathematical finance, with flexible course choices available and internships encouraged. The program has about fifty students who share a common core of courses in financial mathematics, other mathematics areas, and computer science, economics, finance, and statistics. Graduates are positioned to join the many mathematicians, engineers, physicists, and economists who work in quantitative finance as financial engineers. PhD students work with an active research faculty and will be prepared for more advanced "quant" positions or an academic career. Professionals in the field, including recent graduates of the program and participating departments who work in diverse areas — energy marketing to fund management — advise the program and visit the campus — note the Financial Mathematics Festivals. This program is listed on the website of the International Association of Financial Engineers, and is classified as graduate education and research by the actuarial societies. The information in this Guide is regularly updated and is supplemented by the University Bulletin and the department's graduate program webpage, http://www.math.fsu.edu/graduate/. Admissions queries should be addressed to graduate_admissions@math.fsu.edu.
