Registration open for Fall 2026 seminars running October 19-22 through December 14-17, 2026; a one-month accelerated Advanced Calculus seminar is scheduled for January 2027. source
Eight-week live math seminars taught by Baruch MFE faculty at $1,650 each, meant to prepare you for a financial engineering master's rather than for a job interview. They suit career changers who want the degree route and need calculus, probability or linear algebra at a level that holds up in a quant interview. Before paying, decide whether you are actually going to apply to an MFE; if not, a textbook and a problem set will cover the same ground.

Seminar syllabi are pure math; interview prep is not in scope.
Whatever the program covers, the interview itself is free to prepare for here: coding patterns, system design, practice prompts, company guides.
What a careful reader should know
Listed here as the degree-path comparison, not as a bootcamp. These seminars are the standard way to repair a math background before applying to Baruch's MFE, which is a full master's degree with its own tuition. Seminar performance feeds into the MFE admissions file.
