New Masters @ Tulane to Focus on Energy Trading

visited tulane yesterday and found out that they are looking to create a masters in management with a focus in energy trading and risk management to start next year-- kind of like an mfin but with pure focus on energy trading and no fluff. its going before committee today but most likely is going to be passed. gonna be a one year program, start off with fundamentals and stats and basic modeling and then progress through out the year-- supposedly gonna have a good deal of quant and programming involved... will prepare people for the 7, 63, 3, and ERP (energy risk professional) qualifications..

Yeah it went to committee today and he said they should find out soon.. Haha went well sat in on his class , def a lot of programming stuff and played with reuters some.. I met with Eric smith and told him I wanted to do the energy trading bit wasn't sure if the mfin or MBA would be better, Joe said one of his buddies that is head energy banker at b of a helped with developing the curriculum as well as some others

 

I read the detailed review on Anthony's page about the Tulane MSF with energy concentration earlier (http://msfhq.com/?cat=113). Sounds like an amazing program. I think I will try to apply next year to attend for 2012-2013 year.

Also why would this program prepare for series 7 and the others you have listed above? As a student I would feel as that would be a waste of tuition money. A high school kid can prepare him/her self for these.

ERP is pretty cool. I have been following it for years, well before they released the program to the public. I think the Series 7 would be a waste, but the Series 3 is pretty cool. I am studying (have been forever lol) for the Series 3 myself. Strictly commodities focused.

Either way, I am very happy to see Tulane doing this. They have a very good and well established MSF program. Nice to see them expanding on this platform. I would love to see some other school start up their own MSF program.

These would all be ideal MSF schools. I am shocked they don't have a program already. NYU especially. Most schools just require kids to take 30 credits in MBA finance to get an MSF. NYU has so many great finance classes it should be a no-brainer. Especially with the slow down of the market they could easily fill a 20-30 person cohort.
