The MSQE puts a strong emphasis on math, more so than most similar programs would. Working as an Investment Manager at Ameriprise Financial, responsible for analyzing products and investment opportunities, the strong quantitative base from Cal Lutheran makes it easy to decipher what’s snake oil and what’s not.
