UIUC’s Finance & Data Science BS integrates valuation theory with machine-learning pipelines so graduates can decode markets in milliseconds. Students create factor models in Python, automate trade execution in the Margolis Lab, and use GPU clusters to back-test ESG strategies. Guest seminars from Chicago quant funds and Silicon Valley fintechs ensure that coursework in stochastic calculus, cloud computing, and ethical AI stays tethered to industry reality. The result: professionals who translate petabytes into profitable, principled decisions.
