Michigan MFE Michigan MFE has been closed down

[Andy Nguyen]

This may not come as news to some people but I'd like to put it out there. The announcement was posted on the website probably a couple months ago.

Beginning in Fall 2013, the Financial Engineering Program was closed to new applications as its curriculum was reviewed. After this review, the decision was made that no new students will be admitted to this degree program. The Master of Science in Financial Engineering curriculum will continue to be available to all previously admitted students. -

Presumably not enough applicants?

Got words from Michigan today that the new program Quantitative Finance and Risk Management (QFRM) is the replacement of the old, now closed MFE program. The program just got its approval few weeks ago and will be enrolling the first class in the Fall.

Funny how a lot of new programs have 'risk management' in their names - UW CFRM, Rutgers FSRM, now Michigan QFRM.

Very honest of them. That's where the jobs are nowadays.
