Master of Quantitative Finance

Maryland Smith understands that some students' ability to travel to the U.S. may be impacted by the global coronavirus outbreak. Students who are unable to come to Maryland in Fall 2020 may begin their program in Winter or Spring 2021, depending on the program. Some programs may require online pre-work to be completed in Fall 2020 in order to be eligible to start Winter/Spring 21.

These contingency plans are still evolving, and we will share details with admitted students as they become available.

Please contact our admissions office directly if you would be interested in learning about these opportunities at masters@rhsmith.umd.edu.
