Quantitative finance is exploding as a career field, leading students of all backgrounds — not only business, but also math, physics, computer science and engineering — to wonder whether it might be for them. Could an advanced degree in quantitative finance be in your future? Or a job in this line of work?

Find out from some expert panelists, including Kevin Atteson of Morgan Stanley and Barry Schachter of Woodbine Capital Management. The International Association of Financial Engineers and the Fischer Black Memorial Foundation invite all Gabelli students to:
