Which of these programs is suited for me?
Hi, I am currently an undergrad doing a BA in economics and Finance. I am willing to pursue a masters in : A) MBA in Finance B) MFin C) Masters in Financial Economics D) Masters in Financial Engineering(Is it even possible for an econ major to get in) , can any one tell me which one of the following programs will be better for 1)Getting a job in IB, 2) increasing/learning more quant skills, 3) In terms of prestige.
Thanks
1) MFin for IB 2) MFE for Quant skills 3) Prestige depends on which school and how strong that program at each school in comparison to others
Why would you even think about getting a MBA when you don't even have work experience. MFin, MFE at a good school will land you an interview at investment banks. For quant MFE for sure.
prestige=school. not really the program
MFE requires lots of programming. If you haven't done a lot of that in your bachelor years, it will be pretty tough.
Those who are incapable of making such rudimentary personal life decisions themselves are doomed to fail so I'd go with the least expensive program.
If your question is really which one is best suited for you, we need more than just your majors.
I suppose you already understand that an MBA should usually be started after you've had a couple years of relevant work experience.
Financial Engineering, as others have already explained, is much more quant focused. An econ major can definitely get in but I think you usually need to go through multivariate calculus, linear algebra and differential equations, as well as some programming, in undergrad. More math and stats the better.
