COMPARE Rutgers University MSMF vs Boston University MSMFT

[themfeapplicant]

The person who advised may be right I assume as after all it is a business school. Only thing is that the program in the math department was started years ago compared to that in the B-school and employers would perhaps be more used to seeing Rutgers MSMF than Rutgers MQF on a CV. And dont get me wrong but rutgers does not have the same brand value as say a columbia where even a comparatively non-traditional quant degree like MSOR can still land a quant job if you take MFE courses and work real hard of course. Same may not be for Rutgers so you may be better off choosing the most recognised degree out there as any way you would face stiff competition from others in that area like Columbia, NYU, Princeton, Baruch, CMU(NY and of course Pittsburgh) and also others not in NY but have great resources to come to NY due to higher recognition like Cornell, UCB, Stanford, Chicago etc...
