There is no question the brand name power that MIT has going for it but the jury is still out about their MFin program. MIT has only graduated its first class of 26 students in Jun 2010. You can find its placement here: 19/26 found jobs with 75K mean salary.


The second class is substantially bigger with 58 students so it's unclear how the placement number will look like. We may have to way until Dec 2011 to see the report.


MIT is one year program, Princeton is 2 years program.

Tuition at Princeton is $38,620/year

Applying to Princeton -The Graduate School - Princeton University


You can then look at the students profile, placement records to see where you like to end up working. The average age of MIT MFin students is 21.3 which suggests mostly fresh graduates with only a bachelor degree.


I would give a new program 5 years to establish a track record for itself. We will see in the next few years if MIT is fully committed in making their MFin a world class program. If they are, many programs will be worried.
