USC Mathematical finance

i asked the USC for the previous placements statistics.

they replied sorry we dont maintain such data..

what should be considered for such a school which doesnt provide any placement data ??

is it safe to invest in such colleges then??

You kinda answer your own question.
Analogous example: if you are an investor and you ask the CFO of a hedge fund: "What is the annual return after fee of your leading fund the last 5 years?". What would you think if he said: "We don't maintain such data. Everything we do here is in a blackbox."
Even if they have some data, you would have to evaluate yourself. If you think of education as an investment, you have to approach it the same way as you would other things.

Hey, Andy - that's an old Wall Street trick.

Can you say Bernie Madoff?

Don't waste your money on U$C.

If they try to hide their data, then it's more likely they don't have good placement rate.
