As we go to press…

The International Association of Financial Engineers (IAFF) has recognized WPI’s professional master’s degree program in financial mathematics as a program meeting its standards, and has admitted it as an IAFF member program. The decision was based on a review of the program’s curriculum, the contents and quality of the course, laboratory and project offerings, the qualifications of the faculty, employment records of the program graduates, and interviews with faculty. This recognition by IAFF is currently the closest thing to accreditation in the emerging and still unregulated field of financial mathematics. It has also allowed second-year financial mathematics students to attend the Financial Mathematics Job Fair held in New York City this fall and has expanded employment opportunities for program graduates.
