1 = Understands but is unable to forecast stochastic events in finance and related fields.
2 = Is able to forecast stochastic events in finance and related fields by distinguishing what
approach can be used to forecast the particular stochastic event.
4: Graduates will have the computational skills to program complex stochastic processes in
finance and related fields. Assessed in FIN 652, FIN 659
Rubrics:
0 = Lack in understanding how to program or create a program of a complex stochastic process.

investment banking industry as well as in related fields. Assessed in FIN 653, FIN 656, FIN 661
Rubrics:
0 = Students are unable to identify and apply processes in the insurance, risk management, and
investment banking industry as well as related fields.

processes in the insurance, risk‐management, and investment banking industry as well as in
related fields.
2 = Students have a clear understanding of the process of the insurance, risk‐management, and
investment banking industry as well as in related fields
