2018 QuantNet Rankings of Financial Engineering (MFE) Programs

[HowDerivativeKL]

@Andy Nguyen where does the data come from?

From publicly available information, I can't see Columbia MFE's placement rate as you have reported. Do Columbia MFE and other programs report these numbers to you directly?

Yes as is the case for all of our rankings and explained in the methodology page.

According to the full-time placement statistics of CMU MSCF for the year 2017, the minimum base salary offered was $22,656. Is it really this low or is it some kind of an error?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

I do not think it is a mistake. CMU MSCF is known to be very thorough with its reporting.

Why isn't Stanford and USC ranked? I apologize if this question has been answered before.

Do the employment statistics for the University of Washington take into account graduates from the online program, or only graduates from the on-campus program?

I had the same question. Also in the same light it makes me wonder why Chicago and GT have lower employment at graduation?

Hello everybody, who reads this post.
I would like to ask some advise or just your opinion about a way of selection university/business school for studying on master's degree in financial mathematics. My bachelor degree doesn't connected with finance, but it is in IT.
I am from Europe, so it is hard to find enough information or feedback from real people. I have read a lot of articles, rankings like "2018 QuantNet Rankings of Financial Engineering". However I don't feel sure that I am ready to make a right choise. Of course, TOP 10 schools like Princeton, MIT etc. are always value and prospective. What can you say about other universities. which have strong and prospective program in financial math.
Thank you.

There are some components of the ranking which, though were part of the analysis, are not displayed in the ranking table. Is there a way for me to see them? I am particularly interested in the Employer Survey Score.

Could you release the stats for employment survey scores please?

Same question about Stony Brook (SUNY)

I think maybe you should pay to be its member at first.

How's Johns Hopkins placement and program? I'm only asking because I am completing my MS in Applied Math there and planned on becoming a quant anyway.
