The number of students in the master's program of financial mathematics at Columbia University is 30.

The full English name of financial mathematics project of Columbia University is Master of Mathematics Program in Mathematics, and its major is financial mathematics, which belongs to the Department of Mathematics of Columbia University, aiming at cultivating students who want to work in quantitative finance or related fields. The project was jointly founded by the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Statistics of Columbia University, which combined the advantages of the two departments and added some financial achievements. This project focuses on the application of advanced quantitative methods in modern finance, as well as stochastic processes, numerical methods and their applications in finance. In recent years, the curriculum structure of the project has been adjusted, and students can choose to complete all courses within two to three semesters. In the past, most students chose two semesters to complete their studies, but in recent years, students tend to choose three semesters to complete the learning tasks of the project. The three-semester curriculum structure can reduce students' academic pressure every semester. Students with spare capacity can also choose more elective courses in the third semester. For students who want to go to the United States for internship or work, they can also use the third semester to do internships and find jobs.
