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。 : ※ 引述《actuary (退一門課、海闊天空)》之銘言： : : http://www.global-derivatives.com/schools/fin-rankings2003-04.php : : 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 --
