Abstract: Quantitative Finance is a dynamic and highly interdisciplinary field that offers a variety of highly rewarding career opportunities. If you are majoring in Mathematics, Statistics, Actuarial Science, Computer Science, Economics, Finance, or another STEM field, you are likely a good candidate for this career.
