Applied Financial Mathematics

Internships

A practical internship, usually during the summer between the 2nd and the 3rd semester of a student's program, helps to assure a pragmatic focus in the student's approach. 3 academic credits are earned. With a wide range of financial firms in Connecticut (the leading U.S. insurance center and unofficial headquarters of the U.S. hedge fund industry) and in nearby New York and Boston, many students find attractive, well-paid internships, especially when the business is in a favorable point of its cycle. While we help students where possible to secure a paid internship, we cannot guarantee one because the business cycle can be cyclical. Securing such an internship is the student's own responsibility. When necessary we enable students to meet the internship requirements by offering an unpaid internship assisting the research projects of faculty members who have extensive working experience in financial institutions.
