    Quantitative Finance

    About

    The high-tech labs of the Hanlon Financial Systems Center are critical components of the Quantitative Finance program.

    The discipline spans the management of pension funds and insurance companies to the control of operational risks for manufacturing and consumer products companies and how to model the behavior of financial markets. The QF bachelor's program at Stevens emphasizes business, math, finance and computer science, preparing you to understand and seize new opportunities across industry categories.Youll become an expert at using the unique tools of the trade in our high-tech financial systems lab, and will get Bloomberg certification as a freshman. And demand from industry is insatiable since its inception, virtually 100 percent of the programs graduates have secured high-paying jobs on Wall Street and beyond within six months of commencement.

    Additionally, the Stevens QF program has been accepted into the CFA Institute University Affiliation Program. Universities with this recognition incorporate at least 70 percent of the CFA Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK), making them well positioned to sit for the CFA exams.

    Students who graduate from the Quantitative Finance program are able to manage financial assets and risk for firms on Wall Street and beyond, ranging from risk management, to investment banking, to financial modeling.

    Uniquely Stevens

    Very few universities offer Quantitative Finance programs at the undergraduate level, creating a unique avenue for students interested in this challenging, exciting field of study. The Quantitative Finance program at Stevens also benefits from the unique financial analytics labs that are part of the university's prestigious Hanlon Financial Systems Center, where students get Bloomberg certification in the first semester of their freshman year. In addition to the incredible placement rate enjoyed by Quantitative Finance graduates, students can take part in the Student Managed Investment Fund. Students overseeing the fund have nearly half a million dollars under management and put classroom concepts into practice as they aim to improve the fund's performance.

    Submitting Test Scores

    The Covid-19 Pandemic has led to continued SAT/ACT testing challenges. It remains difficult for many students to take the exams and students who are able to take the exams may still be doing so under unusual circumstances. Recognizing that standardized testing opportunities may not be available to potential applicants, and in an effort to support access to our university, Stevens Institute of Technology is extending the SAT/ACT test optional policy, with some exceptions, for Fall 2022 first year applicants and Fall 2021, Spring 2022, and Fall 2022 transfer applicants.

    The test optional plan requires applicants to indicate if they will submit test scores on their application for admission. Those who choose to do so may self-report test scores with the understanding that officially submitted test scores from the appropriate testing agency are required for enrollment.

    The test optional plan does not eliminate the need for demonstrated language proficiency.Non-native English-speaking students will still be required to submit results from an English language proficiency exam (TOEFL, IELTS, PTE, SAT EBRW or Duolingo).

    If you are applying to our Accelerated Pre-Medicine or Pre-Law programs,test scores must still be submitted.

    Use the following institutional codes when submitting your standardized test scores:

    SAT:2819
