I'm surprised Caltech isn't on the AdvancedTrading or QuantNet list. Caltech turns out a huge number of quants that now occupy high positions at pretty much every single major firm that has a quant trading presence. A few years back anyways, it was rare to make it through a superday without at least encountering one Caltech graduate.

hi, believe BU msmf is 1.5years?
"The 17-month Master of Science in Mathematical Finance (MSMF) program focuses on the crux of mathematical concepts that led to the development of the Black-Scholes option pricing method and have grown recently into a universal tool for creating effective investment strategies and risk-analysis."

tuition would be 1.5x that i suppose..

thanks for the list though Andy, great job

yes , its a 1.5 year program and tuition is about 60 k , 20k per sem

if columbia, nyu and baruch are in new york, ny. why is nyu poly in brooklyn, ny? isnt brooklyn a part of new york city?

Poly was once Brooklyn Polytechnic. It was absorbed by NYU a few years ago.

Once every two years is the current plan.

Andy, do you know of any updated rankings and/or when (if) we can expect an update? Thanks!

We usually release our ranking in September once every two years . It would be the case with the 2013-2014 MFE ranking.
