金融工程(Financial Engineering)是一门结合了金融理论、工程原理、数学工具和程序实践建立的一种金融模型,并进而计算金融收益与风险的一门交叉学科。因此,不同大学开设的专业有不同称谓:数学金融、计算金融等。在现代金融实践中有重要的作用。从事金融计算和管控风险的专业人员称为数量分析师(Quantitative Analyst,或简称Quant)。
金融工程不属于工程学传统领域,美国工程与技术评估委员会(ABET)并不认可金融工程学位。该学位受国际金融工程师协会The International Association of Financial Engineers (IAFE) 的认可。*(1)
金融工程是一门交叉学科,通常由大学的商学院、数学系和工程学院联合授课,其课程由于集中于金融领域,所以深度远远超过MBA金融方面的课程,通常包括股票市场分析、投资组合分析、期货和期权、资产定价、资本预算、固定收益分析、利率模型、金融风险管理等课程。
就业展望
金融工程硕士的学习时间一般为全日制1年,同MBA一样,是一种职业教育(Professional Education)而非学术研究教育(Academic Research Education),因此无需撰写硕士论文。其全部课程均围绕金融学的应用展开,具有实用性很强的特点,最适合那些立志于从事金融工作的年轻人。在美国,持有金融工程硕士学位的人才在市场上炙手可热,基本上全部被各大投资银行、基金管理公司、保险公司、风险投资公司所聘用——
- 成本评估师Cost Estimators:$63,080
- 估价师Appraisers and Assessors of Real Estate:$55,180
- 预算分析师Budget Analysts:$72,100
- 金融分析师Financial Analysts:$89,410
- 个人理财顾问Personal Financial Advisors:$90,820*(7)
