Application Information

Master of Science Degree

Step one: take a thorough look at the information about the degree program in the MS degree section of the CFRM website.

Step two: review and gather the complete set of required materials listed on the UW Graduate School website.

Step three:  complete the application process at the UW Graduate School website.

Step four: if you are offered admission, you will be given guidance on how to complete additional steps, F-1 visa applications if required, and make arrangements to enroll at UW as a graduate student.

Bachelor of Science Degree

Step one: review program information on the undergraduate program page of the CFRM website.

Step two: gather required materials (personal statement, UW transcript) in preparation of application submission.

Step three: complete the online application form.

Step four: If you are offered admission, you will be given guidance via email on next steps. If admitted and you do not accept the offer by the deadline stated in the email, you will not be admitted to the major and will need to reapply in a future admission cycle. 

Computational Finance Certificate

Step one: review the program information and admissions requirements to make sure you’re a good fit.

Step two: prepare your one-page personal statement, an up-to-date professional resume, and gather information on your academic background (unofficial transcripts, old course syllabi, or course descriptions from your university may be helpful in completing some of the requested information).

Step three: complete the online application form.

Step four: if we extend an offer of admission to you, you will complete a registration process with UW Continuum College.  Please do not begin this process until you have received a decision from us, as the Continuum College application fees are nonrefundable.

OPTIONAL

Step five: if you are interested in applying for the MS degree in the future, you must also submit a GNM application to the UW Graduate School.  Up to 12 credits taken in the certificate program with GNM status can apply toward the MS credit requirements.  If you do not plan on applying for the graduate degree, you can skip this step.  You must apply for the certificate program separately–a GNM application by itself is not sufficient for certificate admission–and your GNM status must be approved prior to the start of classes in order to allow credit.

Individual courses are available for single course enrollment (SCE).  Please pay special attention to the course prerequisites before applying for a single course, as these courses are designed to be taken in series. Please note that the online (PCE) sections of CFRM 405, 410, 415, 420, and 425 course series will not be offered for SCE during the 2022-2023 academic year. To apply for SCE:

Step one:  review the course descriptions and prerequisites

Step two: prepare your one-page personal statement, an up-to-date professional resume, and gather information on your academic background (unofficial transcripts, old course syllabi, or course descriptions from your university may be helpful in completing some of the requested information).

Step three: complete the online application form.

Step four: if we approve your pre-application, you will receive next steps to complete the application process.
