The Financial Technology Certificate will prepare professionals with the necessary technological and business foundations to lead the creation, implementation, and commercialization of technology-enabled financial solutions.
Although a student may pursue the Financial Technology Certificate on a standalone basis, it is specifically designed to complement existing WPI graduate programs (e.g. , MS in IT or MBA). Students are often able to combine the Certificate with these programs with no additional coursework by leveraging their other program's electives.

To apply for this certificate program, you must have a BS degree in any discipline.
