Re: 北美財務工程/財務數學相關學校排名 - 金融分析師

Actually I don't think there's any consensus of ranking among
master's programs of FE at all.
The original URL's ranking is totally ridiculous.
I don't wanna make any comment on any other schools, but
how could they rank Princeton'd ORFE at #9 during 2003-04, when
ORFE de facto terminated its master's program of Financial Engineering,
and turned their focus on Operations Research "more than two years ago"?
Where did they put the current 2-year MIF program of Bendheim Center,
the only bona fide FE program at Princeton that is mainly supported
by Econ Dept.?

BTW, I've never heard of the so-called "top-4" schools in FE,
not even my old friendss on Wall Street who's been doing quant jobs
for years.

But I DO agree with arbitrageur's comment of
"there's no shortcut to a real quant job other than a formal
PhD education."

The master's program in FE, not even the best-known MSCF st CMU,
or the MFE at Haas, can assure an eligilibity for Wall Street quant jobs.



※ 引述《arbitrageur (狂刪260封信)》之銘言：
: 這份排名有非常大的問題。
: 目前的四天王依序還是
: CMU
: Columbia
: MA, Mathematics, with specialization in the Mathematics of Finance
: NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences
: (以上兩校各有另有一較遜的program故註明)
: Chicago
: 不過我很懷疑這種program的價值。畢業後起薪比同校MBA還低
: (CMU除外，因他FE是第一，MBA才18左右)
: 找到好工作不易，外籍生更難，此外，
: 大家到底看過那些有名的高手不是PhD的？
: 小結：要搞真正的財工，請讀財務、作業研究、應用數學、計算物理、
: 電腦科學之類的博士。
: 要搞半調子財工，也保留做一般MBA工作的機會，最好讀MIT MBA再選FTO，
: 不然讀CMU MBA+MSFE(五學期修完)
: 只讀財工碩，不是幹無聊的coding，就是做和MSF(一般財務碩士)一樣的工作，
: MBA的工作不會讓你做。

: : 我不知道這份排名可靠度如何
: : 因為跟我心目中的排名有點出入
: : 不過反正前幾名的學校就是那幾所 差幾名也不是很大的意義
: : 裡面倒是多出了一些不是那麼Top的學校可供選擇
: : 有志申請財工 或已經拿到admissions不知如何抉擇者可參考看看
