Pre-Mfe courses at Baruch applicable to other colleges?

[WZhang]

I was a bit hesitant if the pre-mfe courses are applicable to other MSFE programs?

Almost surely. If you look under MSCF Prep here Curriculum - Master of Science in Computational Finance - Carnegie Mellon University , you'll notice similar courses. If they are relevant for CMU, I think that gives a good idea of their relevance for other programs. To me, it seems the Pre-MFE courses (advanced calc, probability, NLA) serve as a great refresher/survey of undergraduate math while simultaneously weaving in applications to finance. If you can afford them, I think they would serve you well regardless of what program you end up deciding to go to.

To add to this if you take all the courses and do well your pretty much a shoe in for the Baruch mfe program. Personally I didn’t like the program, but it is very cheap so maybe worth it.
