The admission process was accommodating and I received a scholarship of 17000$ with my offer. The courses are on the cutting edge, flexible, and are designed to be highly practical. I selected around 16 courses in machine/deep learning, algo trading, and risk management areas, including some at the Ph.D. level. Professors are exceptional with excellent industry relations. Stevens is renowned for its location, just 10 minutes from Manhattan. The COPA team provided thorough support for my career with my program director and professors offering recommendations and conducting mock interviews for me.

Applying for a PhD within the Stevens FE program is also a great option, as it includes a dedicated two-semester PhD thesis FE900 project. PhD professors will work with you one-on-one to revise your thesis and assist you in publishing papers.

I worked in different hedge funds and Securities firms before Stevens. During the program, I interned at Jefferies and worked on different Capstone Projects from BOA. This rigorous FE program helped me find my full-time quantitative position in Transamerica. You will get a big bang for the buck in the Stevens FE program if you are pursuing a career path in quantitative finance.

This programming course has been the best I’ve ever taken. The class forum is well-established, and the instructors’ responses are both timely and patient, which is a refreshing change amid the current scarcity of educational resources. The materials, exercises, and exams are meticulously designed, making learning systematic and practical. It's also a pleasure to meet and discuss with so many outstanding classmates and fellows here.

I’m determined to keep enhancing my C++ skills, and I’m hopeful that this experience will open doors for my future career, not only in C++ but beyond. Also, I’m eager for the opportunity to contribute to this course in the future.

The FE program curriculum is set up very professionally, with sub-branches in different domains such as risk management and algorithm reading etc. This structure allows each student to choose their area of interest and delve deeply into learning relevant skills. The courses are designed practically, ensuring that the skills acquired are applicable in industry and not outdated.

The FE program boasts a powerful lab (Hanlon Lab) where students can experiment within a virtual industry environment, with only a few minutes lag from the real market. The lab staff, mostly PhD students, are always helpful in providing instruction when questions arise.

The professors in the FE program set a high standard. Many of them have Wall Street experience and adeptly transfer their knowledge to students. As a student and adult learner, one must be self-motivated and collaborate with professors to maximize the learning experience. Additionally, as a source of connecting to real industry, the program invites external experts or industry leaders to give webinars or tech talks to students.

During graduation and job hunting seasons, numerous large companies visit the campus for on-site hiring, including Morgan Stanley, EY, JP Morgan, and Two Sigma etc. It is highly recommended to be well-prepared to seize these opportunities.

Overall, I highly recommend the Financial Engineering program at Stevens Institute of Technology. I am always grateful for the experience I had at Stevens from 2014 to 2015, which has contributed significantly to my present-day success.
