UMass Boston MS Finance
Has anyone ever heard of this program? It's an evening program, dirt cheap for in-state and only 2 semesters long.

No information available online on placement.
According to http://www.princetonreview.com/schools/business/B… the avg starting salary is $78k for entire business school (including MBA, MS accounting, IT)
The school is kinda ghetto, but it's much cheaper than BC...
Hmm... Not to knock on UMB but that's not going to get you anywhere near most of the jobs this board caters to.
Good bang for the buck, but if you can get into BC, then this shouldn't even be a consideration. However, better than Suffolk and similar to Northeastern in terms of education, perhaps a bit below BU. As far as prestige goes - well that's your call.
Note that the above is not speculation, I happen to have done very thorough research on Boston MSFs.
Not sure about MSFs but Northeastern UG places pretty well for a non-target. Maybe give it a look.
Placed 2 kids at MS/GS this summer in IBD. Both got offers
Fair enough. I assume you go to Northeastern? If so, how is the awareness on campus of the existence of IBD, and are many people trying to break in? Just curious.
Terrible. To be honest it's part of the problem. The faculty pushes kids into BO roles because it's easy and it keeps our "graduate with a job" number at 95% or something retarded. Most kids don't understand the difference between BO and FO because they're brainwashed by co-op (it's a co-op school).
Things are starting to change though. Just in the past 6-9 months I know 3 kids going into IBD at BBs, a girl at Wells, two kids at McKinsey, couple GE FMPs, and some PE/VC shops around Boston.
Interesting, thanks. Out of curiosity, you say things are changing... why are they changing? What is causing that change?
