I went to Kent State for undergraduate, and from my experience there the program is quite good if you are already good with programming; it is very much finance oriented, the classes are held on the trading floor which gets live data feed from CME and CBOT, and the finance professors have a lot to say about trading; job placement is mainly in Chicago.
Bottom line:
If you already know how to program and want to learn how to trade - it's an excellent place to learn that;
If you are more interested in more quantitative disciplines that focus on math and programming, may be is not that good of a place.
Also, make sure you like the location as well - Kent is not the friendliest place if you like urban environment and mild weather.
I don't know anything about Claremont.
