Baruch MFE The 2013-2014 Pre-MFE Program at Baruch College

[dstefan]

Is it possible to host an information session online so that the international students can also have the opportunity the learn more about the Baruch MFE program.

Abhsihek - we are planning to do so in mid-January, and we will announce on QuantNet once that is set.

Dear Dr. Stefanica,
I'd like to ask about the difference between "Refresher Seminars" which will start in next June and the current courses for Pre-MFE.
As they both have the same titles and almost a same number of sessions.

2014 Summer Refresher Seminars

C++ with Financial Engineering Applications

• Dates: June 16 – July 9
• Meets: 6-9pm, Mondays and Wednesdays (8 sessions)

Advanced Calculus for Financial Engineering

• Dates: July 14 – July 22
• Meets: 6-9pm, July 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22 (6 sessions)

Probability and Elements of Real Analysis

• Dates: July 23 – July 31
• Meets: 6-9pm, July 23, 24, 28, 29, 30, 31 (6 sessions)

Statistics for Financial Engineering

• Dates: August 4 – August 12
• Meets: 6-9pm, August 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12 (6 sessions)

Numerical Linear Algebra for Financial Applications

• Meets: 6-9pm, August 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21 (6 sessions)

The Summer Refresher seminars assume more knowledge and cover more material than the Pre-MFE seminars. The Pre-MFE seminars are open for everyone to apply, while attendance in the summer refresher seminars is by invitation only, open only to students admitted to the Baruch MFE Program.

Bad news !!
I've already applied today morning to refresher seminars. Actually, I think it's not clear enough information on the site.

Dr. Stefanica, Don't you think that timing of refresher courses is more convenient to worker students specially the international one. As these courses are in summer, condensed for only one week (3 hours daily) for each course. So we can travel and have a chance to choose an appropriate course we need.

Isn't there a chance to open these valuable courses for others not only admitted students for the Baruch MFE program?

The refresher seminars are for incoming students only. The pre mfe program is offered to the general public. It says clearly on the website. They both cover similar materials. The refresher however is extremely fast paced while the premfe program is around 7 weeks long

Unfortunately, that the fast one within one week is not open for the overseas worker students !

What is the average amount of work per pre-mfe seminar? What is for example the equivalent number of credit for each seminar? As a full-time student, is it reasonable to take all 4 seminars(including online C++) at the same time and doing well(trying to have distinction)?
