first, do your own research on the job placement statistics and tuition fee.
second, you are free to apply any programs as long as you are willing to pay application $

first, thanks for your reply
second,sorry，I don't know your point.I also thought you misunderstand me.are you a Chinese,when our Chinese say "can I ",it means that is there any possibility, if you know some better schools, please tell me
 
can anybody give me some information about Kent State University and Temple University?
 
Did you find the information you need on the programs' websites? Did you email the faculty and staff there to get answers? Did you contact any current students and graduate there?
That would be your best source of information. I would advise you against applying to a program unless you have done all the thorough research and get all the doubt cleared up.
As you mention, there are close to 100 programs in the US alone and there is no good reason for you to apply to a program that everyone knows little about.

what you said is just what I can do.Thank you.
 
The Temple MSFE website has been recently updated. The MSFE program is undergoing changes (2012 onwards - More geared towards FRM).
 
What do you guys think of FRM exams? Does passing these exams will increase your chances of getting hired in entry level of risk management?
 
What are the most common misconceptions of people seeking this line of work?
  • MD 1: Soft skills are as important as hard skills. WE DON’T CARE IF YOU HAVE A PRM/FRM/CFA THOSE REPRESENT MEANS AND NOT ENDS.
    People think it’s the fast track to big bucks. It’s not. It’s the fast track to mediocre bucks combined with high stress and long hours. Do this if you find it inherently interesting. Otherwise you’ll be a miserable, overworked, geek bouncing from firm to firm chasing the money.
