<p>I am sorry, but you could not be any more wrong. An MFE and an MSF are two completely different degrees. </p>
<p>An MSF is a graduate level degree in finance. It is a general degree in the sense that it encompasses all of finance. You will learn theory, fixed income, markets, portfolio analysis, fundamental valuation, etc. There will be some higher level math, but mainly a little advanced calc, some stats, probability, etc. Career path is mainly banking or F500 finance. The program incorporates a lot of the CFA’s BOK so you see asset management, equity research, S&T, etc. </p>
<p>MFE is also known as an MSCF (at CMU) or a masters in finance math. The level of math you need to know is nearly PhD level. Very quant focused. Programming is also central to many of these programs. Placements tend to be in trading or quant roles. Stuff that is highly technical. Banking is going to be the most boring thing in the world if you are a quant type person. </p>
<p>Berkley, UCLA, Baruch, CMU, Columbia, NYU, etc. Some schools have the MFE housed out of their math departments and some have them out of their finance departments. I have heard both sides, but I think the finance department is preferred. </p>
