MSc in Quantitative Finance in Houston United States | University of Texas at Arlington

Admission to the M.S. in Quantitative Finance (MSQF) program is based upon the completion of the general graduate admission requirements of the University. For admission into the MSQF program, prospective students are strongly encouraged to submit test scores in the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or Graduate Record Examination (GRE). An acceptable undergraduate performance is required. Preference is given to individuals having extensive mathematics or computer science backgrounds. Students whose native language is not English must also take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) paper-based, TOEFL internet-based test, International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or Duolingo English Test. International applicants scoring below a minimum level on the English language test may be admitted conditional upon passing an English proficiency exam or upon completing the University’s Graduate English Skills Program before beginning graduate coursework. 

For unconditional admission, we recommend a minimum OAS score of 600 or a Quantitative Percentile Score of at least 75% from the GMAT or GRE. Students who are unconditionally admitted, have a minimum undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 as calculated by Graduate Admissions (or 3.0 at the graduate level), and enroll for a minimum of six semester credit hours will be eligible for available fellowship and scholarship support. A standardized test score (GMAT or GRE) will not be used as the sole criterion or the primary criterion for determining fellowship and scholarship eligibility.
