Fordham University MSGF, worth it?

I was accepted to Fordham University's MSci Global Finance program, and I'm wondering if it's worth the roughly 40k the one year program is going to cost me? What's there recruiting like, in NYC and around the country? Do their students get jobs? I'm also wait-listed to BC and accepted to FSU's MSF

Fordham is a good school and I am sure you'll get a quality education from the program. That being said, the program isn't going to be a career game changer if you are trying to use a masters to break into investment banking.

 

I think that Fordham is almost a semi-target with good networking opportunities because of proximity to NYC. There are placements in AM and IB. You just need to work hard to realize these opportunities.

For the lead! Sipag, tiyaga, at lakas ng loob!

No it isn't.

There were a few forums on WSO that I looked at and also did a quick Linkedin search. Search: Fordham on Wall Street?/Fordham UG, etc. Proximity to NYC should generally help as well for networking and opportunities.
