We build each Berkeley MFE class to incorporate a breadth of experience, expertise, and perspective.
Students have in common a background in finance, statistics, economics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, or other similar quantitative field, but they each bring different approaches to problem-solving and an eagerness to learn from each other.
