University of Chicago Financial Mathematics program
Chicago MSFM program is offered in Chicago and at Singapore satellite campus
Founded in 1996 by an exceptional team of educators, the University of Chicago’s Financial Mathematics Program has had the honor of shaping some of the brightest minds in the financial industry today. A pioneer in its field, our Program offers 15 months of accelerated, integrated coursework that explores the deep-rooted relationship that exists between theoretical and applied mathematics and the ever-evolving world of finance. Our mission is to equip our students with a solid foundation in mathematics, and in doing so provide them with practical knowledge that they can successfully apply to complicated financial models. Our students become leaders in their field; program alumni have gone forth to find success at companies like JP Morgan, UBS, and Goldman Sachs.
Lastly, 55% of the 78 that responded found employment in Chicago and 14% work in their home country. Additionally, 2012 and 2011 numbers are consistent with this data for this time of the year.
Cornell University Financial Engineering program
Program Philosophy
Cornell MFE degree is offered by School of Operations Research and Information Engineering (ORIE) as part of its Master in Engineering program. Cornell MFE is a highly competitive and professionally oriented program building on traditional mathematical, scientific, and engineering skills, but focusing closely on the application of these skills in the field of finance. Great emphasis is placed on career development with the goal of giving our students the necessary tools and information to become successful employees for the duration of their professional lives.
Curriculum
The main objectives of the MFE program at Cornell are to advance the breadth and depth of our students’ technical knowledge and to provide students with opportunities to synthesize and apply this knowledge in the financial industry. In ORIE, the technical tools of primary importance are mathematical modeling and the application of quantitative techniques developed within the fields of optimization, probability, stochastic processes, statistics, and simulation. During the first two semesters spent in Ithaca, students are exposed to these subjects via a structured curriculum specifically designed for our MFE students. Another integral part of the Cornell MFE Ithaca curriculum is a selection of related courses offered at Cornell business school. We strongly believe that this combination of the ORIE and business school courses prepares students best for a wide range of quantitative careers in finance.
Role of CFEM Semester
CFEM academic programs complement the theoretical education of our Master of Engineering students in Financial Engineering by providing practical understanding of the financial markets through professional development programs and third semester curriculum.
Professional Development
Cornell MFE strives to teach students how to become valued and successful professionals. Several career development programs are integrated into the curriculum and are complemented by individual counseling. Our placement rates are a great indication of the success of the professional development programs.
简析
Cornell这个项目每年招人倒不是像哥大那么多,因为招生太多了他们的地理位置不能保证学生有较高的就业率。最近几年Cornell实施了一个Manhattan计划,就是将学生的最后一学期放在纽约,让学生能够更方便的一边学习一边实习。

除了上面的一些常申顶级项目以外,还有一些非常不错的优秀项目可以参考。
例如Baruch的MFE项目,质优价廉,是很多学生的dream。Baruch跟北大清华合作比较多,学生除了正常的申请流程以外,还会有一个优先的提前批次申请,是很多中等条件的学生不错选择。
最后除了美国的一些项目以外,英国也有一些类似的项目,光大金工金数申请者也都可以参考一下。
