MIT MFin VS UCB MFE

[Hirtzzz]

Hi all,

Just a quick hypothetical. Suppose one got into both programmes with the goal of being a structured products trader or getting on a PM track (rates or fx), Which programme would be a better fit?

Obviously the MFE is more quantitative then the MFin but I'm not sure that's totally required if you're trading.

thanks!

Hey, moretodo

Thanks for the reply. Do you think you could elaborate a little on this?

MIT MFin places well in roles that target MBAs or Undergraduates majoring in Business relative to UCB MFE in my opinion. MIT MFin is sort of an accelerated finance focused graduate level program with classes similar to those of the Sloan MBA. Also, their placements are closer to MBA type placements.

If you wanna be a quant portfolio manager or do quant research or strats or risk management, go to UCB or for that matter preferably CMU or Baruch.
