Financial Software Engineering Graduate Certificate

The components of financial problem solving are embedded in the methods of applied mathematics, computational techniques, statistical analysis and economic theory. In a Financial Engineering program, those components are directed towards solving problems in securities valuation, risk management, portfolio structuring and regulatory concerns with emphasis on tools and training in stochastic modeling, optimization, and simulation techniques. Financial markets can be viewed as complex systems whose design, implementation, verifiability, reliability and accuracy rely heavily on the spanning communication networks and each node in the system. This in effect lays the burden on the trustworthiness of software and its ability to mirror and propel the growing demand for dealing with ever emerging financial systems complexities. Financial Systems resilience, reliability and agility are a function of the software engineering characteristics underlying their operations.  In financial systems, there is an intra-system super structural software (ISSS) with middleware at the interfaces along with well-defined protocols.
