Columbia MFE How is the programming part at Columbia MFE?

[roni]

I noticed that there is no pure programming class like at Baruch. Or there is one?
Wanted to know how is the stress on programming at Columbia?
Do students code a lot in other classes ?
And which programming language is used ?

Thanks.

Matlab, vba, c++, sql. There was a decent amount.

That's according to the review of the Columbia MFE program sent in by a full-time student.

can anybody please elaborate on this?

what course is primarily c++ programming for finance at columbia?

NYU has one, and CMU has 4 mini-courses

i couldn't find any at columbia's website (IEOR 4500 comes close, but comparing the course material with NYU and CMU's courses makes it sort of pale in comparison to those at NYU/CMU)
