I randomly clicked on the second course for the UF MS in Finance.



During the course, we will discuss the following topics: The basics of U.S. equities, U.S. fixed income securities, international equities, real estate, and derivative securities
Portfolio theory, CAPM, factor models, and mean-variance optimization, with and without short-selling constraints
Tracking error volatility and information ratio
Strategic and tactical asset allocation
Rebalancing strategies
Performance attribution
Multivariate regression analysis to forecast average returns
ARCH/GARCH analysis to forecast return variances and covariances



Yes, nothing says “does not require math” like multivariate regression analysis.
