Are class sizes more in MBA? I have posted my profile earlier. Am confused whether to go for MBA or MFE.
 
I think it varies by class and by school. I have taught classes as small as 15 and as large as 60 in quant finance programs. I'd imagine that mostvintro courses in MBA programs would have large class sizes. I was in a large corp fin class at NYU as part of my (abortive) attempt at an MBA in the 80's.
 
The class size of an MBA program(>100) is always larger than that of an MFE(<100).

The students' background of an MBA will be more diversified than MFE. I believe more and more business schools are willing to reasonably increase the size of their alumni, and, at the time, increase their tuition.
