Why Baruch MFE ?

We offer a high quality education. Our graduates are very successful inthe job market, even in the current market conditions.

We enroll only the most qualified applicants, and we do not have a minimum number of seats to fill. Our students work together in small teams and learn from each other, fostering a sense of camaraderie and strong connections even as alumni. Our students are competitive and driven to succeed.

Our active alumni formed the Baruch Financial Engineering Alumni Association in October 2006. The Association offers one-on-one mentoring to all students wishing to participate.

QuantNetwork, the organization of the Baruch College Financial Engineering graduate students, hosts bi-weekly talks given by industry professionals. The QuantNetwork Forum presents a wealth of information about the MFE program, offers prospective candidates direct access to our students, and enables easy student-faculty interaction.

Admission to the program is selective (the acceptance rate for the Fall2008 cohort was 11%) and we have small class sizes (the Fall 2008cohort consisted of 29 full-time and 11 part-time students). Promising candidates whose applications were rejected areinvited to learn how to strengthen their applications and are urged to re-apply.

As any successful program, we are forthcoming with numbers and information about employment data and admission statistics.

The student body of the Financial Engineering MS Program at Baruch College is as diverse as could be expected from a school in the City University of New York educational system. No matter what your background is, it is likely that we have students or alumni with a similar background.

The Financial Engineering MS Program at Baruch College is located in New York City, arguably the most exciting financial capital of the world.
