[QUOTE="Andy Nguyen, post: 33100, member: 1"] Structured Finance is a buzz word that you see in curriculum of few programs but I doubt they cover to the extent that Sylvain does at Baruch. It's a set of a year long 2 courses where the second course involves doing a deal. If the deal "converges", you pass, else you fail. I didn't take the second one btw. [B]MTH 9848 Elements of Structured Finance[/B] The course objective is to allow students to analyze the basic credit quality of securitizations backed by commodity asset types (mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, CDOs). Mastery of the material in this course will let the student model and evaluate the credit impact of collateral or structural alternatives. Hands-on work is both extensive and preparatory to the advanced level.
