USC Financial Engineering

Hi I am a graduate student at USC studying Financial Engineering. I wanted to know the job prospects after this program. Any help would be appreciated. Looking forward to meting seniors of this program as it is a relatively new program.

Thanks

Ask your career services about their placement stats. I know, Princeton and Columbia place well.

On a side note, shouldn't you have done due diligence on this program prior to applying, enrolling and paying tuition? Unless of course they are giving you a free ride, which if that is the case, congrats.

Otherwise I just picture someone about to drop 145k without a clue about what they are paying for.
