"The CQF is for anyone who wants to challenge their knowledge of quantitative finance. A broad range of material is covered but subjects are not glossed-over; within each one there is hands-on work to derive solutions, price instruments and evaluate risk. Unlike many in the field, the CQF faculty is able to explain difficult concepts in a clear and entertaining way. The guest lecturers who make appearances throughout the course are leading experts in their respective, highly specialized areas.

Perhaps what I liked the best was the unconventional approach taken. Technology is used to help maximize the learning experience and there are topics covered and theories put forth which I'm almost certain won't be found in any other program."
