Students may apply to the masters degree program but are not guaranteed credit for courses completed in this executive certificate program. Students who have successfully completed the Program and possess necessary qualifications including GRE scores could apply to the MS&E Master of Science graduate program. They will be reviewed together with other MS applicants and will be admitted based on Stanford’s admission process. Upon admission to the MS program as matriculated graduate students, Stanford may award credit for the courses completed, up to 9 units, assuming students meet additional departmental requirements, homework assignments and final for the courses. Students admitted to the MS program can complete the remainder of their study online while working full-time which is an attractive alternative to students with strong quantitative skills and focused career interests. The entire MS program can be completed on Stanford’s campus with one year of study.

To be admitted to MS program, candidates are expected to demonstrate a high level of intellectual curiosity, a strong interest in finance, and strong analytical skills. Though there is no specific entrance requirement, most students in the MS program will have backgrounds in quantitative disciplines such as mathematics, statistics, the physical sciences, engineering, operations research, computer science, finance, or economics. It is also expected, though not required, that applicants have work or research experience in which they have applied quantitative skills creatively.

Whether students are admitted to the MS graduate program or not, the Stanford Financial Engineering Certificate program gives prospective applicants a solid understanding and background in Management Science and Engineering.
