Why no American students in financial math programs?

<p>[Master</a> of Quantitative Finance](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Mathematical_Finance]Master”>Master of Quantitative Finance - Wikipedia) seems to span a continuum of math/cs/finance. Perhaps a wider search would yield more programs of interest. See [International</a> Association of Financial Engineers - Academic Programs](<a href=“http://www.iafe.org/html/resources_acad.php]International”>http://www.iafe.org/html/resources_acad.php). </p>

<p>(I know that many MIT undergrads study courses 6 and 15 or courses 18 and 15 before going on to finance careers.)</p>
