Master of Science in Financial Engineering (STEM)

at EDUCO - Stevens Institute of Technology USA

The cybersecurity master’s program is designed for security professionals who seek an in-depth understanding of the technical knowledge related to information security as well as an appreciation of the organizational, social, managerial and legal aspects of security and privacy.

Cybersecurity is a high-growth field currently experiencing a demand far greater than the supply of trained professionals available. The White House has reported that in the coming years as many as 30,000 new cybersecurity professionals are needed by the United States government alone.

The computer science master’s program at Stevens is designed to meet growing demand for skilled professionals in the development and application of information technology. The program provides a solid foundation in theoretical instruction along with practical applications necessary for industry success. Unique, advanced courses in enterprise and cloud computing as well as secure systems give our students a competitive advantage.

Students will learn to professionally and effectively communicate computer science concepts, designs and solutions throughout this program, as well as obtain specialization in key application domain areas of computer science. Key skills you will learn include how to implement the solution of a computing problem using the appropriate program languages.

Unlike financial engineers, who use mathematical modeling and computer science skills to create algorithms and tools, financial analysts combine their programming skills with talents in data analysis and statistics to design innovative solutions to finance problems. They also use excellent business and communication skills to assess client needs and make recommendations to executive teams.

The Stevens master’s in Financial Analytics teaches professionals to apply their physics, statistics or engineering skills to the lucrative finance industry. You’ll learn from faculty whose insights are changing how the industry is thinking about concepts like machine learning, data modeling and optimization in finance. You’ll take courses in one-of-a-kind financial labs, home to the data analysis and visualization tools used on Wall Street. Most importantly, our location on the Hudson River ensures you’ll have regular interaction with industry recruiters in New York City, just 10 minutes away by train or ferry.

Media and broadcast engineering lies at the intersection of audio/video processing, networking, software design and complex system integration. The media and broadcast engineering master's program provides students with a comprehensive foundation in all aspects of media production, delivery and management, and prepares them for relevant careers as media and broadcast engineers, network managers and developers, streaming media developers and project managers for broadcast networks.

The program provides similar education and opportunities to professionals in the field wishing to enhance their skillsets. It also covers media engineering in emerging media publishing channels such as through the Internet and mobile applications.

The Stevens master's degree in Management helps students with limited exposure to business to round out their résumés with practical instruction that teaches them how leadership, innovation, economics and strategy shape and define the roles they'll play in industry. The Management program can be completed in just 12 months, making it the perfect complement to a four-year bachelor's degree, and is available entirely online for maximum convenience.

Employers see graduates of the Stevens Management program as ideal job candidates who need little training, as their education prepares them to create immediate impact at work.

The finance world's rapid transition to a digital discipline has created incredible opportunities for experts in computer science, statistics, economics and mathematics to develop solutions to increasingly complex problems, such as how to value an asset, how to assess risk and the smartest ways to manage a portfolio. Quants are some of the most-sought professionals on Wall Street for their coding versatility and ability to model financial data to drive better decision-making.

The Financial Engineering program at Stevens resides in the School of Business, giving it a practical orientation that few other programs offer. Lessons emphasize how technical tools can address specific challenges in the markets, while preparing you to identify inefficiencies, recognize opportunities and develop innovative new products. The Stevens program also recognizes the systemic nature of financial markets and prepares you for the challenges of working in large, interconnected environments.
