Drexel University MSF

I am currently a senior at Palm Beach Atlantic University and am considering whether to go straight into an MSF program at Drexel or to work for a few years and shoot for Villanova.. That said, I was wondering if anyone could tell me about Drexel's MSF students' job placements after completing the program? Do any get into IB positions? Also, what is the average salary after they graduate? I am also curious to know Drexel's admissions standards. I noticed on the program website they like to see a 570 GMAT but what is their UG gpa requirements??

Thanks for the help

Why not Drexel? Drexel MFin seems like a solid graduate program.

I think Drexel is a fine school, but OCR is limited and the program doesn't have a history of placing students. Do Drexel if you want a grad degree from a school in the city, but don't expect career services, etc.

I appreciate the follow-up (and to Sil for the double tap). I can see how OCR would be a big make / break for any program. I'll probably keep Drexel as a back-up.

Check out Temple if you're looking at Philly schools. Their business school is expanding and they have a number of masters programs.

I'm an undergrad at Temple, and currently interning with a group of kids from 'Nova and Penn. Temple sends very few undergrads to IB (though, one stud went to JPM FT this year, but he was an outlier). If you asked 90% of the business school body what IB or PE was, I honestly don't think they would know. Honestly know idea about the master's program, though. May be very different.

Nova UG and Grad seem to be relatively decent.

 

If you're working in BB PWM you don't need an MSF. Don't waste your time or your money. If you want an advanced business degree, work for a few years and go for an MBA.
