Recruit An MFE
With strong quantitative skills in place,
Anderson MFEs hit the ground running
A Rigorous and Well-Balanced Curriculum
Our talented MFE students learn from our top-rated finance faculty to integrate mathematical, statistical and computer programming tools with finance theory application. Unlike many MFE programs, the UCLA Anderson MFE curriculum is solidly based on the business school paradigm of merging theory and principle with up-to-the-minute business practice. By combining mathematical and statistical tools with finance theory, we equip our students with the tools necessary to succeed as "quants."
A Diverse Range of Skills and Backgrounds
Our students have an average of two years of professional experience prior to starting the MFE program and come from a diverse range of academic backgrounds, including engineering, finance/economics, mathematics, computer science and business administration. Once they attain the practical and theoretical tools through the MFE program, our graduates are ready to hit the ground running in areas including risk management, asset management, derivatives trading, corporate finance, data science and analytics, and FinTech.

Interview Scheduling and Facilities:
We can work with you to schedule either on-campus or off-campus interviews for both internships and full-time positions.
