Warwick Business School MSc Finance vs American Programs

<p>Hello, </p>

<p>I'm about to apply to LSE (MSc Finance & Economics), Vanderbilt (MSF), Purdue (MSF), and possibly Florida (MSF). My top choice by far is LSE's program, but I want to apply to another school in the UK. I was thinking Warwick Business School. Would a MSc in Finance from Warwick be as marketable in the US as a similar degree from Purdue or even Florida? I know it's a very good school in the UK, but I was just curious as to how respected it was in America. Also, can you give me your ranking of the programs I've mentioned? I'd be curious to see how you think they stack up against each other.</p>

<p>Also, does anybody have an opinion on Rochester's M.S. in Finance? It looks like a great school, but would it be worth it to drop about $70,000 (tuition, living expenses, etc.) for this degree?</p>

<p>Thanks,
Brandon</p>

<p>LSE, Warwick, Vanderbilt, Purdue/Florida.</p>

<p>Not sure employers in the US will know Warwick (that said I’m from the US and I know it).</p>

<p>Rochester would rank about the same as Vanderbilt.</p>

<p>Warwick is a fine institution and definitely one of the best in Europe. A degree from there would put you in good stead wherever you will be. It may not be as well-known as Rochester or Vanderbilt is in the US, but it is well-respected for those who care. I would rather have an MSc in Finance from Warwick than from Vanderbilt, more so, Rochester.</p>

<p>I am also applying to LSE (MSF), Vandy (MSF), BC (MSF), Villanova (MSF), and MIT (MSF). I was wondering if anyone had anymore information on the program at Rochester. I know the PhD department is very well respected. I am assuming the Master’s program is also respected. I was selected as a priority candidate for the Early Leader’s program, but the problem is that I don’t know much about the school. Any information would be helpful. Thanks.</p>
