Financial Engineering masters programs

I looked into these programs. Carnegie Mellon is good. They also offer a non degree certificate program which might be worthit. They are the only school that has shown placement stats. Look very carefully into all these programs. Not all show placement stats. A lot are just cobbled together from different departments and maybe too theoretical. Another option worth looking into that might be easier to get into but w/ good placement is the oregon institute of tech. Still tough to get in but easier than Carnegie Mellon.

Some programs, including UC, offer placement services to their students, but IMO they are not too useful.

Carnegie was the first school to offer computational finance program geared toward wall street. but the cost is something like 50 or 60k and its not any easier getting into.

You must be joking right.

Correction. Just checked today. The oregon program is shut down.
