Examine how technology has become the driving force behind the financial industry and how innovations in FinTech are disrupting the financial landscape.
The Graduate Certificate in Financial Technology (FinTech) examines how information technology has revolutionized the financial services industry. Topics covered include Python, algorithmic trading, predictive behavioral analysis, data-driven decision-making, mobile-only services, robo-advisors, machine learning, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, Blockchain, RegTech, InsureTech, innovations in lending, and cybersecurity. Elective options allow you to gain focused knowledge of business forecasting, applying credit risk models, or information and big data security. Case studies and guest lectures are emphasized.
This program is designed for those who have completed prior undergraduate or graduate finance coursework. If you do not meet the prerequisite, you should begin with the Finance certificate.
This certificate program is designed to be completed part-time in one semester on campus. You can continue to build on your financial knowledge by stacking the Graduate Certificate in Financial Technology with our Graduate Certificates in Data Analytics, Data Management, or Finance. If you apply to the MS in Finance (MSF) degree program or another graduate business degree program, you may be able to apply the courses in this certificate program to reduce the time it will take to complete your master’s degree.
