New ranking of B-school is out, let's talk about Master of Finance

<p>I just wanted to know what are some good schools to apply to in the New Jersey/New York areas that offer MS Finance degrees. Also just wondering how exactly does a MS Finance degree differ from lets say MS Fin.Engineering, MS Quant. Finance, and MBA degrees? And one more question which examination should I take to be accepted into a MS Finance program? Most college websites say I could take either the GRE or the GMAT. Wouldnt the GRE be an easier examination to take? Thank you very much for your time and efforts.</p>

<p>since its your relative score that matters, by definition, neither exam can be “easier”</p>

<p>since when does wharton offer a mfin, or nyu???</p>

<p>"University of Florida
Hi,
Does anyone knows what the Mfin at the University of Florida worth ?
My top goal would be Princeton but when i look at the acceptance rate, I want to consider some others…
The only ranking available is the one of Global Derivative but it s from 2004…too old…
Any Idea of some good other program (not engineer finance) ??</p>

<p>Thx !!</p>

<p>Btw my profile:
3.7 GPA BA in Finance
1 year full time experience with a big Investment Bank
730 gmat
good records on portfolio management"</p>

<p>I know it’s been awhile since you posted but I actually really like UF’s MSF program. They offer a class on securities trading which I haven’t really found elsewhere, and they’ve got some pretty good recruiters that come in. I’ll probably apply for the fall 2010 cohort but probably won’t get in; you’ve got the stats for it though.</p>

<p>Thank you for your post Gordon,
Yep I m gonna apply also but I m looking for a bit more choices than only Princeton and UF…
But I dont have much ideas…so many of them are MSF engineering which I cannot do…</p>

<p>Please look at my original post in this thread, all the schools I mentioned are general finance programs. </p>

<p>Pm if you need more info.</p>

<p>Well, also the Financial Times has a Masters in Finance Ranking now. For the first time they published it last week - and actually they published two rankings, one or Finance programs who require work experience and for programs without: [Master</a> in Finance Ranking: Pre- and Post-experience Masters in Finance](<a href=“MBA vs. Master in Management (MIM): Alternative or Substitute?”>MBA vs. Master in Management (MIM): Alternative or Substitute?)</p>

<p>Top Schools for Masters in Finance (Pre-Experience Ranking)
HEC Paris
IE Business School
Essec Business School
University of Oxford: Sa</p>

<p>FT ranking is a start, but far from complete. They excluded many MSF programs because their ranking requirements are so stringent.</p>
