Over the last 25 years, the finance industry has undergone a fundamental transformation. Deregulation and technological advancements beginning in the 1990s has resulted in a proliferation of competing markets and greatly reduced execution costs, while extensive regulation implemented after the 2008 financial crisis now requires firms to better measure and control risk in their portfolios. In addition, the increased granularity and volume of data available for financial decision making has created new opportunities for computer-savvy quants to lend and manage money. To survive in this new environment, bankers, traders and money managers must understand the probabilistic distributions driving economic forecasts, be able to manage and analyze large financial data sets to build trading, investment and risk models and understand the proper use and limitations of the mathematical models on which much financial decision-making is based. The industry looks to financial engineers for the knowledge, training and skillsets to perform these functions.

Location

You can always find something new in the city of Pittsburgh. Between the 88 neighborhoods and districts and the 10 colleges with 86,000 students in the area – there’s so much to explore and so many different types of people to meet along with things to do in Pittsburgh.


Oakland, Shadyside and Squirrel Hill are the closest neighborhoods to campus and easy to explore by foot. But if you’re looking to go beyond the nearby vicinity and have mapped out a plan to see more than the obvious, your Carnegie Mellon student ID will double as your bus pass throughout Allegheny County – including the Pittsburgh International Airport.
