Andrew Cowan , MFE '08

"Haas simply has the best MFE program. The faculty is very distinguished, drawing as it does from several of the UC campuses. The caliber of the students is often intimidating. And perhaps most importantly the program is very career focused with an impressive track record for career placement."

Before coming to the MFE at Berkeley, Andrew Cowan held the position of Manager, Statistical Analysis, at Capital One, Canada, in Toronto. "The program is very demanding - The curriculum is designed to give a solid grounding in the financial theory and mathematics necessary to understand the complex products being traded in today's markets. The markets have been evolving extremely rapidly over the last few decades, what with credit derivatives, carbon emission trading, information markets, etc. I hope to someday help redefine the markets in a new way that will add value to people's lives."
