Are you a Rutgers Undergrad Interested in Pursuing Masters in Mathematical Finance?
Complete an undergraduate degree in four years and the MS in just one academic year, with minimum additional time and expense. With careful planning, best begun during the sophomore year.
{slider title="Why choose the accelerated program:" class="icon" open="false"}
- Students with any undergraduate major who have completed the prerequisites can apply.
- The accelerated degree program allows students to count towards the MS degree up to 12 credits of graduate coursework taken while an undergraduate, provided they were in excess of requirements for the undergraduate degree.
- The accelerated MS degree program allows significant cost savings: Tuition for the Mathematical Finance Option is higher than undergraduate tuition rates and 45% higher than the standard Graduate School-New Brunswick rate..
- Summer school tuition rates are discounted from regular undergraduate tuition rates.
{slider title="How to get in to the accelerated program" class="icon" open="false"}
- During the sophomore year, meet the Mathematics Undergraduate Vice Chair or Mathematics Head Advisor - Advising Office and ensure
- Prerequisites for at least two of our required graduate courses will be completed by the end of your junior year
- Submit an application during their senior year by the program deadline
- All our undergraduate prerequisites will be completed by the end of your senior year.
- During the senior year, take at least two (but most four) of the seven required graduate courses: Mathematics 621-622, Mathematics 573,623 Econ 608-607. Students may consult the Mathematical Finance Program Director for advice on course selection. Special permission is needed to register for graduate courses.
- Schedule a GRE General Test in time for ETS to send results to Rutgers before the application deadline.
- Submit an application well in advance of the deadline for Fall admission for the Mathematical Finance Option.

Interested students are welcome at any time to seek the advice of the:
- Mathematical Finance Master's Program Director (finmath (at) math.rutgers.edu)
Students are encouraged to use Summer school, especially following the junior and senior years, to ensure their courses are completed on schedule. The Departments of Mathematics and Statistics offer most of the advanced prerequisite undergraduate courses during the Summer semesters, and some graduate courses (for example, Statistics 16:960:563 and 16:960:583). Summer school tuition rates are discounted from regular undergraduate tuition rates and some courses are offered during the evening.
