哥伦比亚大学2011新开设Financial Economics专业,项目简介如下:

The Finance and Economics Division of Columbia Business School is pleased to announce the launch of a new Master of Science in Financial Economics program, which admitted its first class for September 2011.

The Master of Science in Financial Economics is a two-year master’s degree program that trains analytical- and industry-focused financial economists in dynamic asset pricing, portfolio allocation, corporate finance, and optimal contracting. The program aims to train students for analytical jobs with potential employers such as investment and commercial banks, asset management companies, consulting firms, and policy-oriented organizations. Graduates of the program will have access to targeted job search resources of the Career Management Center but will not be included in MBA recruiting schedules. The Master of Science in Financial Economics degree is designed for students who wish to pursue a more analytical and focused course of study in finance than that offered by Columbia Business School’s MBA Program, but who also prefer a shorter and more industry-oriented experience than the School’s Doctoral Program. Applicants who may also be considering MBA or PhD programs are encouraged to carefully review the academic differentials between the offerings to better understand the nature of preparation for post-MS opportunities.

Candidates should have academic preparation equivalent to that of entering PhD students, and should be fully prepared to participate in PhD classes and to complete a substantial research project. In a competitive job market, the technical skills and analytical expertise gained through the coursework component of a PhD program become increasingly valuable. A Master of Science in Financial Economics provides academically distinguished and industry-oriented students the opportunity to develop many of these skills in an intensive two-year program.
