That is the official Baruch MFE Facebook and Twitter pages. They are both monitored and run by the program director, Dr. Dan Stefanica.

You can become fans to keep up to date with workshops, seminars, formal and informal gatherings, and news about the program, etc.

I know. I was looking specifically for separate accounts run by MFE people, not their MBA school.

OK, I added it to the list.
If anyone is current student at another MFE program, please check with your program to see if they have any official account on social networks.

Thanks for the link. It looks like the account has not been monitored and updated for almost a year. (You may want to tell CGU that there are spam on their FB page and they link to the wrong twitter account)

UCLA MFE has also started their Facebook page

Anyone applying to any MFE programs subscribe to the program's Facebook, Twitter? It seems to me the MFE programs are decades behind MBA programs in term of how to use technology to stay connected to their clients?

Do you feel like MFE programs miss a point when it comes to social networking?

I'm looking at Baruch and NYU streams right now. But as a rule, for me, if it reads as an RSS feed or if it is updated every application deadline season, interest drops off. Put in a seminar video tiny url, a homework problem, a twitpic or two from students in class, that'll keep it interesting. Im just saying.

@grimknight
In contrary to the info overloading problem I have with MBA programs, MFE programs seem to abandon their accounts shortly after they set it up.
Look at the twitter list I set to follow theses programs http://twitter.com/#!/quantnet/programs/members
Do you see how often they update it?
And like you, if they put them in auto rss, I'm going to put them on the ignore list. Gotta put a human touch into it like you really care.

Updated the list with CMU MSCF Facebook page.

I noticed that the Twitter accounts set up by different programs but has little to no activity.

I wonder... with Google+ popping up, will programs also have Google+ pages?!

 

[Andy Nguyen]

MBA programs may be the first to join that fray but I doubt their MFE counterparts would do that anytime soon. Just look at how they have used the established services like FB/Twitter.
It's not easy to use social networks the right way or master it.

Do they use them effectively? No. Do they still sign up for them? Yes.

Anyone knows of more official accounts?
