Crowdsourcing: Create a master list of all MFE program

[Andy Nguyen]

Calling all willing, able participants out there.

We want to create/update/maintain a list of all FE/Math Fin/Quant finance/Finance programs available globally.

IAFE has such a list but their info is rather oudated (circa 2008). We will update this list with all the latest data from different programs and provide this master list to the general public in a way that makes it easy to quickly find a program sorted by tuition, location, duration, acceptance rate, placement rate, etc

We have the list in Google Doc that is public viewable at QuantNetwork Master list of all MFE/Math Fin/Quant Finance/Finance program

If you see some info that needs update, please let us know. If anyone knows of a free tool that makes this crowdsourcing project more time efficient, please let us know.

IF YOU LIKE TO HELP US EDIT/UPDATE THE INFO, SEND US YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AND WE WILL ADD YOU TO THE EDITOR LIST

Thanks much.

IIT - Ms Finance takes 300+ students ever year into their program?!!! For Claremont it showed 70? The don't take more tan 30-40 per year from what the program director said.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

The info is directly from IAFE website. They compiled the data. We are going to update them.

We will use numbers that are publicly available, not hearsay or guess.

Actually you don't. Any email will work.

Those who are applying to many programs would be ideal contributors as they already know the latest info.

Such a list would have helped me out tremendously when I was looking to apply to programs and had a short time frame and no time to research all around the internet so I just applied randomly everywhere for whatever came up on google with Ms Finance basically. lol Got into few unis..but still..

Andy,
I have got an admit from the RPI's Lally school of management for Financial Engineering and Risk Analytics program for Fall 2010. How good is this program? Do you know any current students? And also how are the employment statistics?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Also looking for people familiar with the programs in Canada and Australia to help update the list.
