I am currently beginning my PhD study in computer engineering in a average state univ in USA.And I plan to switch to finance and apply to some MS finance engineering/quatative finance program.Currently I have selected several programs as following.CMU GatechU waterlooU torontoPerdueRutgersFSUI am most interested in Gatech's quantative finance program,bacause of it's comparably low cost and gatech's engineering reputation.Does anyone know about its placement?Thanks!

I am at Tech now. It's a young placement, and for the last couple of years most folks went onto PhDs or did the program part time and stayed with their original employer.Hope this helps

Thanks,that is an option.But it is hard for someone with a phd in other field from an average univ to get into finance......How is the current placement of those mfe programs.Does it helps if I want to continue a phd in finance after graduate or couple of years's work?
