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.

 

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...
