NEWS: We are launching the Dr. Bruce I. Jacobs Master of Science in Quantitative Finance, our first new degree offering in 50 years: https://t.co/yeSBKi2ScM

The one-year #JacobsMSQF program is initially intended for @Penn students with a quantitative background and career aspirations in quantitative asset management and allied fields, with the application now open for the inaugural cohort starting Fall 2026.

The program is funded by the generosity of philanthropist and #WhartonGrad Dr. Bruce I. Jacobs (G’79, GRW’86), whose latest gift of $60 million is the largest single gift in school history and builds upon his longstanding support of quantitative finance initiatives at Wharton.
