Comprehensive Study of MFE / Quant Finance Programs

Folks, I am embarking on a comprehensive review of MFE / Quant Finance programs, and I will be reaching out to you to "crowd source" some of my research.

Last December, I did a paper for the Dean of Baruch on MS in Risk programs in the United States. There are about 60 of these and I reviewed location, cost, course load and curricula. That paper is attached. It's 30 pages and takes what I believe to be a reasonably rigorous approach to the topic

I now want to do this for MFE / Quant Finance programs. There are many more of these, perhaps hundreds. I have engaged two grad students from Baruch to help me. Where I will need the assistance of the good people of QuantNet is in a) making sure my inventory of programs is complete, b) helping me understand the structure of these programs, and c) adjudicating the nature of certain courses (e.g. Is a quant risk management methods course a risk management course or a quant methods course?)

I'd love to hear your ideas on this. Take a look at the attached paper to see my general approach. If you have topics you wan explored, let me know.
