Hey, great observation! Yeah, unfortunately (for me, at least
) there are only a few comprehensive finance master's program.. I've been taking note of this because I'm more interested in Corporate Finance / Investment Management rather than Quantitative Finance / Financial Engineering.
Here are some of the master's programs in Finance (non-Financial Mathematics). You can just research on their websites.
1. University of Rochester - MS Business Administration, concentration in Finance
The Simon Graduate School of Business Administration is well-known in the field of Finance. You may want to consider this school.
2. Rochester Institute of Technology - MS Finance
Not as well-known as U of Rochester, but one look at the program website and it looks okay. Above average, at least.
3. Bentley College - MS Finance
A well-known business college. Strong in undergrad, i'm not sure if Bentley is strong in its graduate programs.
4. Illinois Institute of Technology - MS Finance
Finance is not the bread and butter program at IIT, but it's worth a try.
5. Webster University (main campus, St. Louis, MO) - MS Finance
I'm not sure if this is AACSB-accredited. Webster is not really a traditional university, but when I researched their site, I found it quite good, but I focused primarily on the main campus.
6. London School of Economics - MS Finance
A very well-known school around the world. The full-time MS Finance program will commence this Fall 2008. This has a dissertation requirement, though, if that bothers you (not as comprehensive as a PhD dissertation, of course!).
7. Warwick Business School - MS Finance
Very well-known in the UK, Europe, and Asia. This school is AACSB-accredited. It also has a dissertation requirement.
Hope this list helps! If anyone knows about other non-Financial Mathematics tracks programs (preferably in the USA), please let me know!
great list...but I think only LSE, Warwick and Simon are good in the above. the rest seem just normal, or with bleak career prospects.
on a side note, for those wanting to find career prospects and various profiles of quantitative analysts, or graduates of such masters of financial engineering degrees, (also known as quants), should definitely google "advancedtrading" and follow the first link
