THE FINANCIAL ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE AT KENT STATE UNIVERSITY

The College of Business Administration and certainly the Masters of Science in Financial Engineering Program are committed to innovation in the academic program. Since it's inception in 2004, the MSFE program has demonstrated leadership in its continued evolution and in its commitment to the success of students within the program. This commitment extends well beyond the student's time and at Kent State University to career opportunities following graduation. The program's emphasis on both practice and theory provides students with the background needed to enter the marketplace prepared and qualified for a responsible position.

Although for a number of students the decision to enter the program may be a continuation of predetermined academic plan, the faculty appreciate that many prospective students are attracted to the program only after having entered the workforce. For these "delayed entry students, the faculty offer pre-program refresher courses to hone skills and ensure all students have the academic background needed to succeed in the program.

The program maintains a team based culture that creates a learning environment in which all students become active participants. Working both individually and in groups, students often learn by working together. To supplement the formal class work and practical activities, the faculty to student ration is very high and provides students with direct yet informal access to faculty as needed.

For prospective students seeking a career in Financial Engineering-related area, we encourage you to look under the covers of the program to appreciate the value, professionalism, academic quality, networking opportunities and commitment to student success the MSFE program offers.
