MS Finance/International Finance

I'm thinking about pursuing my MS in Finance/International Finance. Currently I work as a Performance Analyst at top Investment Consulting firm. I did my undergrad at DeVry University with a 3.0 (which I known as a leading institution). Keeping that in mind I'm looking for suggestions for tier 2 type programs in U.S or oversees(preferably oversees for an International Finance program).

In doing some research I came across University of Amsterdam Ms International Finance. Which is also a recognized CFA Program partner. Has anyone heard or their program?

Would greatly appreciated any insight into the matter.

Devry is not a leading institution...

No offense but you're going to need a premium Tier 1 school to make up for Devry. If you were going for a corporate job at Target then having Devry on your resume is fine. But at any prestigious firm, not just I-Banks, you are up against Ivy League and big dog alumni: Northwestern, Columbia, BC, etc AND much higher GPAs. You cannot afford another "He went were?!.....Delete" School.

 

Completely agree.

Frankly, its surprising that you're even considering such a program following Devry. If the above wasnt a realisation to you, prepare for a long hard road.

If you're seeking tier 2 programs, look at BC, Vanderbilt, CMK, Brandeis, etc.

Look at Ant's site www.msfhq.com - buckets of info.
