I wanted to reveal some of the reasons why I will select MIT over many of the other top-tier schools I have been accepted into. Even though the Master of Finance at MIT is not myopically confined to a"quant degree," one could easily tailor this degree to fit one's custom needs. For example, Analytic of Finance I & II, in addition to Introduction to Sctochastic Processing, and Advanced Stochastic processing provides the theoretical probability foundation comparable to any other program (the latter two being housed in the school of mathematics) Once these are completed a student could take Optimization Methods, Advanced methods for solving PDEs, and Dynamic Stochastic Programming. Basically, the curriculum is extremely malleable and faciliates the evolutionary nature of the quantitative finance field. One could easily take courses in theoretical computer science or advanced econometrics/time series analysis as well.
Anyone else share this view?
I just have a difficult time accepting some of the reasoning that MITs MFin is less quantitative as other programs.
