I was just accepted to the Rutgers MQF program and I was wondering if anyone had any experience or knowledge on the differences between the two programs (MSMF vs. MQF). I am not sure if both were considered when RU was ranked top 10 in advanced trader or if it was strictly the MSMF program. Also, I was curious how the recruiting was around graduates of the MQF program vs the MSMF program. Thanks for any and all input!
 
There is no formal connection between the two programs, although they cooperate on certain initiatives. MSMF is offered by the Department of Mathematics, in partnership with the Department of Statistics, through the Graduate School-New Brunswick. The MQF program is offered by the Rutgers Business School, at the Newark and New Brunswick/Piscataway campuses. Other differences between the two programs include:
  • MSMF requires 30 credits and be completed in one year; MQF requires 48 credits and can be completed in two years.
  • Rates for MSMF tuition and MQF tuition.
  • MSMF admissions emphasizes mathematics prerequisites, as well as overall student record.
  • MSMF curriculum emphasizes mathematical finance and stochastic analysis, numerical analysis, computational finance with Matlab & C++, statistics, and allows 2 Business electives.
