B.S.in Quantitative Finance
JMU's quantitative finance major is an interdisciplinary STEM program that covers the design, development and implementation of innovative financial processes that encourage the formulation of creative solutions to problems in finance.
As such, it is unique among College of Business offerings, and your course of study will result in a B.S. degree with minors in economics and math or a double major with math. Q-Fin is a highly structured program and you must begin your mathematics courses in your freshman year in order to progress through the major in a timely manner. The required major course work provides you with the foundation and tools for a variety of financial situations and problem solving, while electives permit you to emphasize economics, mathematics, statistics or finance.
