You mean a master's in financial engineering or you mean starting an analytics business?
Quantnet.com has a ranking of the best MFE programs in the country. The top five are as follows (in no particular order):
-The University of Chicago (M. Fin Math) -Carnegie-Mellon (MSCF) -Cornell -Princeton (MS Finance) -NYU
Honorable non-US mentions (IlliniProgrammer's):
-London School of Economics -Oxford -Cambridge -IIT (India)
In order to apply, you need to take the general GREs and get an 800 on the Quant section, along with a 600+ on the Verbal. If you're still a college student, you also need to take the Math GRE and score a 700+ for some programs. Finally, you need to line up three strong recommendations and do well in an interview conducted in English.
QuantNet.com can give you all the info/advice you need. Tell Andy that IlliniProgrammer says hi for me.
IIT??
rofl!
I dunno. I've worked with folks from the Indian Institute of Technology and the Indian Institute of Management and some of them are considered the smartest traders and quants on the trading floor.
Everybody has an opinion, I guess, and mine is that IIT is Asia's answer to MIT. And it's a pretty darned good answer.
If you don't care about the MFE degree and just want to learn the content, I would start with Stochastic Calculus for Finance volumes I and II by Steve Shreve. It should take you about 3 months to go through them.
Hi, Thank you very much for your answers, I had a bachelors in Computers but very much interested towards Finance, we need to be strong in Math, so I want to know which University will offer the brushup or catchup for these and continue the finance program...
