Hi! I think that the Ms in Finance are incorrect. You must distinguish between MSF and MFE. Very different programs.

What is MFE?

Yeah, I agree that it would be incorrect to assume MSF and MFE as similar programs but still, they can be placed under the umbrella field of Finance, right?

Financial Engineering (MFE) would require base knowledge of a few topics of calculus and other mathematics oriented aspects. In most cases this would be relevant to Engineering / Mathematics majored undergrads

While MSF - Masters in Finance curriculum would largely base out of Financial Instruments, Markets and techniques. It would be more relevant to Business & Finance undergrads.

The career prospects for the two would also differ largely with MFE diverging into data analysts & related areas & MSF into valuation and financial instruments consultants and like wise.
