Employment History The prospects for Financial Math/Financial Engineering is tremendous, and the graduates of our program are landing great career oriented jobs.  The IAFE web site provides a good view of the market as a whole, and the career paths of graduates of the NCSU program reflect this outlook.   If you are fascinated by quantitative analysis of markets and pricing and have mathematical talent, FM/FE is a great career path. 

I invite you to visit the NCSU FM Jobs Blog that I created about a month ago, and the IAFE web site.  Visit http://www.math.ncsu.edu/finmath/links.html

Is the TOEFL required?
Q: I want to apply the Mater of Finance Mathematical in your shcool ,and I do not know if you also accept IELTS ; I just have IELTS score. And I have not find any words about IELTS on your website, so I do not know if your shcool accept TOEFL only.

A: This is a university-wide requirement related to supporting your student visa.  As far as I know, there are no exceptions to the TOEFL requirement; however, you can submit your application in anticipation of passing the TOEFL in January or February.

Is the Math GRE Required? You may still apply without the GRE Subject test, but students that demonstrate advanced math knowledge using the GRE will be treated favorably.
