M.S. in Quantitative Financial Economics

杜克大学的M.S. in Quantitative Financial Economics (MQFE)项目全球每年拟招生7-10人, 属于小而精的项目，强调学术深度和严谨性。适合将来打算读金融博士或者进入量化金融分析的业界的同学。

该项目的课程包括波动率模型，高频数据分析，金融连续量化模型，以及其他杜克的金融经济的专业课程。另外选课也给学生提供很大的自由度，学生不仅可以选择研究生的课程，同时也可以选择博士生的课程，因此可以根据自己的职业或学术生涯规划自己的课程。

The M.S. in Quantitative Financial Economics (MQFE) is designed for students who are seeking the greater depth and rigor that are increasingly required by advanced academic programs, as well as in the private sector. If your goal is to prepare yourself and improve your candidacy for a Ph.D. program in finance at a top business school, then this is the program for you. Equally, if you would like to improve your skills in quantitative financial analysis to enter, or move to the next level, in your career in finance, our program can help you to achieve this goal. This program is unique in offering advanced courses in volatility modeling, analysis of high-frequency data, and continuous time finance, as these are areas of expertise within the financial economics group at Duke.

Students' course selections are based on their specific interests and on recommendations made by their academic advisors in order to meet their longer-run goals. In addition to taking a variety of master's-level courses, students with sufficient preparation will be encouraged to enroll in a combination of doctoral-level courses in financial economics and financial econometrics. The curriculum can be completed in either three or four semesters. Throughout their participation in the program, students compile a portfolio that tracks their academic growth and showcases their accomplishments. The portfolio is composed of research papers, presentations, and other professional documents. It serves as a valuable tool for applying both to jobs and doctoral programs.

【STEM专业】

M.S. in Quantitative Financial Economics (MQFE)还属于STEM专业，留学生可以获得两年的OPT！对留学生来说可以大大增加留美实习和工作的机会。
