Admissions

At the Master of Science in Financial Mathematics (MSFM) program, we are addressing a rapidly changing industry by providing full-time students with an accelerated, five-quarter curriculum. Evening courses and flexible registration allow part-time students to progress at whatever speed fits their needs. Along the way, every student will develop relationships with our large alumni network, UChicago faculty, our industry partners, and dedicated career-development specialists.

There is no priority of admission given to Round 1 versus Round 2 applicants. We recommend non-US citizens apply in Round 1 to allow sufficient time for processing visa documentation. Offers of admission will be sent on a rolling basis via email through the end of May.
