美国哥伦比亚大学的金融硕士申请一直备受中国学生青睐。殊不知,除了在商学院开设的 Master of Science in Financial Economics 项目外,还有其他两个金融相关的硕士项目,一个是开设在工业工程和运筹学系下面的金融工程(MS in Financial Engineering),另一个是开设在数学系下面的数学金融(Master in Mathematics of Finance)。那么,这三个金融相关项目差别在哪里呢?本文是哥伦比亚大学金融硕士项目比较。
一、课程差异
不论是先修课程要求还是未来学习的课程方面,这三个项目都存在着比较大的差异。以下列出这三个项目分别要求的先修课程:
Programs
先修课程
Master of Science in Financial Economics
Probability
Statistics
Microeconomics
Two semester of Calculus
Linear Algebra and Matrix Theory
Computer programming
Master in Mathematics of Finance
Calculus (three semesters, at least)
Linear Algebra at the level of V2010 "Linear Algebra"
Elementary Differential Equations at the level of V3027 "Ordinary Differential Equations" and Math V3028 "Partial Differential Equations"
Probability at the level of W4105 "Probability"
Statistics at the level of W4107 "Statistical Inference"
If possible, an exposure to advanced calculus and mathematical analysis at the level of W4061-4062 "Principles of Mathematical Analysis".
Applicants should also have facility with an operating system, such as Windows or LINUX, and with one of programming language such as C, C++, C#, Visual Basic, Matlab, Fortran etc.
MS in Financial Engineering
Probability
Calculus
Linear Algebra
虽然这三个项目都强调概率论、微积分、线性代数等这些数学能力,但要求的程度各异。由于金融数学项目开设在数学系下,该项目对数学能力的要求较高,学生需 要修读过至少三学期的微积分课程,其他的诸如概率论和统计等课程也需要特定层次的水平方可。录取的学生背景大多数为数学、物理工程以及计算机专业。如果商 科背景的学生有较强的数学背景也可申请。
