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 (狂删260封信)》之铭言： : 这份排名有非常大的问题。 : 目前的四天王依序还是 : CMU : Columbia : MA, Mathematics, with specialization in the Mathematics of Finance : NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences : (以上两校各有另有一较逊的program故注明) : Chicago : 不过我很怀疑这种program的价值。毕业後起薪比同校MBA还低 : (CMU除外，因他FE是第一，MBA才18左右) : 找到好工作不易，外籍生更难，此外， : 大家到底看过那些有名的高手不是PhD的？ : 小结：要搞真正的财工，请读财务、作业研究、应用数学、计算物理、 : 电脑科学之类的博士。 : 要搞半调子财工，也保留做一般MBA工作的机会，最好读MIT MBA再选FTO， : 不然读CMU MBA+MSFE(五学期修完) : 只读财工硕，不是干无聊的coding，就是做和MSF(一般财务硕士)一样的工作， : MBA的工作不会让你做。 : ※ 引述《actuary (退一门课、海阔天空)》之铭言： : : http://www.global-derivatives.com/schools/fin-rankings2003-04.php : : 我不知道这份排名可靠度如何 : : 因为跟我心目中的排名有点出入 : : 不过反正前几名的学校就是那几所 差几名也不是很大的意义 : : 里面倒是多出了一些不是那麽Top的学校可供选择 : : 有志申请财工 或已经拿到admissions不知如何抉择者可参考看看 --
