Any thoughts on Wash U Quant Track?

[gcjohns]

Hi All,
Has anyone looked at the curriculum for the Wash Univ. Quant Track? http://www.olin.wustl.edu/academicprograms/MSF/Curriculum/Pages/default.aspx

What do you think? The program is new, but a solid undergrad brand name, great faculty. I'm not sure whether this program is akin to MFE or simply more of an overview of these topics (i.e. learning to use Black-Scholes as opposed to proving it, etc..). Does anyone know anything about the program?

Thanks!
Garrett

I have actually been looking into this program. I will try to post some additional info I dig up later.

I think it will be more of a quant-ish MSF vs. a true MFE. WUSTL was always one of the more quant focused of the traditional MSF programs and I think it is a great idea to separate the two tracks.
