Difference b/w Fin Eng and Quant Fin
I am thinking about pursuing a Master's in Finance and I am noticing there a programs in both Financial Engineering and Quantitative/Mathematical Finance. Are these different names for basically the same set of courses? If there is a difference, which would look more attractive to employers?
You're probably best off looking at the differences (if any) in the coursework.
computational finance, mathematical finance, financial mathematics, financial engineering, operations research focus in financial methods, yaddayadda. slight differences in coursework but mostly the same
There are noticeable differences between the two types of programs. I spent a lot of time this summer looking into applying, so I have a decent understanding of them. Financial engineering programs will spend more time on asset pricing, differential equations, and stochastics, while computational finance programs spend more time on programming, time series, statistics, etc. Quant/Math Finance tends to be a combo of both, though in some programs they also toss in some corp finance stuff to give a more holistic finance education.
