I know of a couple of places which offer "certificates" in financial engineering: The University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) and Columbia. They are not, however, formal degree programs.Columbia (you can also take additional individual courses which are offered in their engineering school on-line):http://www.cvn.columbia.edu/Registratio ... online.htm

There are over 10 statistics departments in the US? Seems like lots of them have been folded into other areas...I don't know what schools might have statistics departments which are strong in quant finance specifically, but my in my opinion the top overall programs are:BerkeleyStanfordChicagoHarvardColumbiaDukeNYU offers a master's in statistics with a specialization in financial engineering; it's given through their statistics and operations research department housed within Stern (their business school).No clue about UF....
