MIT Launches New Option to Educate Leaders for Financial Services

  • Program for current MIT graduate students at the interface of Finance, Computation, and Information Technology.


  • Facilitates access to 4 Sloan finance subjects and relevant technology subjects.


  • Successful students awarded a certificate in Financial Technology.


 

We regret to announce that, due to unforeseen circumstances, the FTO Program will be ending in June, 2006.

Many students have expressed interest in applying during the June '06 admissions season. Unfortunately, we will NOT be accepting any new applications to join the program. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Technology is reshaping the Financial Services Industry at a rapidly accelerating pace.  Power is shifting toward the investor as trading costs plummet and access widens to information and analytical tools for investment decision support.

By introducing the Financial Technology Option (FTO), MIT is taking a position on the skills needed by the next generation of leaders in this industry. The Option is designed to produce sophisticated graduates solidly grounded in both finance and the technologies which will shape the industry. While centered in the Sloan School and Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, the program involves graduate students from across campus.

Support for the FTO and for research related to financial technology is provided by the MIT-Merrill Lynch Partnership and State Street Global Advisors.
