选校标准：
1 MFE 数学方向不太选
未来职业不太有用 要考 GRE 要读数学
2 尽量选好的学校 （排名靠前）企业比较看重
但是比较少 因为大多偏金融工程
3 偏爱时间较长的项目 一年对我来说在美国太短 不能充分融入那里
读完书以后 这两年美国工作太难找 虽然准备回国发展
4 偏爱有实习时间 时间长的项目
其他还要继续调研
5 比较关注课程内容是否合适
这个会和自己的 career path 联系起来
PS：
地点其实很想去 NY 但是那里学校项目都不太合适 地方方面还要再调研
没有联系学生是因为时间比较紧张拉
另外是应该宁愿出钱去拿好学校的 admitted 最无奈好学校的项目都太偏数
学 而 MBA 工作经历又要求太高 而且偏管理
金融我目前的感觉是会计加管理 再加核心：资本市场作用分析 估值模型计
算

LOYOLA
http://graduate.loyola.edu/graduate/academics/bf/msf.asp
Loyola’s Master of Science in Finance (MSF) program builds upon prior
degrees in business, accounting, economics, engineering, liberal arts and
sciences. Our students often acquire the MSF as they prepare for many of
the professional certifications required today, such as the Chartered Financial
Analyst or Certified Financial Planner examinations. Taught by a
highly-regarded full-time faculty and professionals from the public and private
sectors, Loyola’s Master of Science in Finance emphasizes applied knowledge
through the utilization of modeling, and the study of global and regulatory
dimensions of the finance profession. Corporate responsibility, ethics, and
regard for the individual are value added components to Loyola’s rich learning
environment, delivered in the spirit of quality Jesuit education.
Coursework is available in Derivatives and Risk Management, Investments
and Portfolio Analysis and Management, Corporate Finance, Securities,
Financial Institutions and International Finance. The courses combine to
deliver a rigorous program of study and a relevant body of knowledge for
finance professionals. The Master of Science in Finance is fully accredited by
AACSB-International. The MSF degree serves as a cornerstone program of
Loyola's Sellinger School—the premier provider of leadership education in the
Baltimore-Washington region.
Financial expertise, in depth knowledge, and practical, hands-on training have
become crucial for the success of companies and for the career of working
professionals. Loyola's part-time MSF program meets this demand with a
10-course, 30 credit hour, MSF program delivered in a weekday evening
format, at graduate campuses in Timonium and Columbia
