Do you think it would be necessary to have a bachelors in CS to pursue this
program? How many years did it take you to complete this course?

He definitely does not want to go for PhD. He eventually wants to combine
(or learn) software programming to add to his finance and quantitative
skills. My interpretation is that he is looking for some programming skills
-- Python, C++ or whatever -- to manipulate, extract and mine financial
data.


Thanks,

Rajiv
