The Graduate Diploma in Financial Engineering is administered by York University's Department of Mathematics and Statistics for students with strong quantitative backgrounds in fields such as economics, mathematics, statistics, computer science, or engineering. It is designed to be completed concurrently with the Master of Arts or Doctoral program in Mathematics and Statistics, adding a documented specialization in financial engineering to the primary graduate credential. As with York's other graduate diplomas, the program does not certify students in a professional field but records focused study on the transcript. Diploma programs of this kind are generally open to students already enrolled in a relevant graduate program, or to those with a general interest in graduate-level study, and applications for the diploma are made separately from the primary degree program.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must first apply to and be accepted into the Master of Arts or Doctoral program in Mathematics and Statistics at York University, then submit a separate application for the Financial Engineering diploma. The program targets students with strong quantitative backgrounds in economics, mathematics, statistics, computer science, or engineering.
