x 2 on that.... I would love to move home but am not a fan of how quanty Claremont is..
I know that a couple of the smaller state schools have programs and that USC just started one though no one knows anything about it and there isn't even a link on Marshall's website right now.
Check out Anthony's (TNA) website www.msfhq.com it has a full list of all of the programs
Honestly, Claremont is it right now. USC will eventually start something, but right now their program is on hold. I believe UC Riverside is starting something up, I will post about it sometime this week. Other than that you have U San Fran with an MSF-ish program. Golden Gate has something also. Nothing like Claremont though.
Anyone hear anything about the uc riverside program? I'm not looking for elite placement, regional would actually be ideal. It's an Mfin rather than MSF, is that important?
I don't know much about UC Riverside, but you might want to check out Pepperdine. Program is super expensive, but they give out sizable scholarships so the cost can come down. Great location and probably sizable alumni presence in Cali.
And Pepperdine!!!! but I have heard it is only useful to the extent of its proximity to malibu and the quality of the girls that attend
Pepperdine MS-Applied Fin
U San Fran
Stanford (Financial Math)
Berk (MFE)
UCLA (MFE)
UC-Riverside is starting one (not sure how helpful it would be for IB, UCR is a mid/upper tier UC, but not many IB alumni)
Cal Poly Pomona is also planning to roll out an MFE program within the next two years. CPP does not a big IB footprint, but it is an engineering powerhouse.
That's pretty much it. Claremont is the clear leader in California.
How about msf program at Saint Mary college?
How good is Pepperdine wrt job placement?
Poor (re: Pepperdine). From my understanding (having attended undergrad there) the program is set up as a way to generate revenue from overseas students and then send them home. The career resources at the school are very very lacking.
Also, for those who feel Claremont is quanty...it really isn't. You need a solid quant score to be admitted but the most quantitative classes are Asset Pricing and Fixed Income, neither of which are mandatory. You will not be programming in MATLAB or deriving Ito's Lemma, etc but in general any corporate finance class will cover Black-Scholes-Merton for its application to real options.
Really? Good to know... I may try squeezing an app into Claremont
