Columbia MAFN vs Columbia MSFE

[bahu]

Can you apply to both? Which one would you choose? Why?

You can apply to both. Which one? From the top of my mind (to be taken with a grain of salt), MFE was for a long-time the flagship program, but is slowly decaying in rankings, and being surpassed by MAFN. Choosing one over the other depends on what you want to focus on. Just my very quick 2 cents

By MSFE are you referring to their masters in financial engineering or masters in financial economics?

Ahahha indeed I read too fast and read MFE. MSFE -> not too much info. I believe @Qui-Gon was pretty satisfied with the program

By MSFE, I mean their financial engineering program.

What I would recommend is the following:

1. Speak to people from both programs, and get their well-formed opinions.
2. Look up other threads on this forum. If I were to go search in the search bar, I would find at least 10 threads with the same poll and the same question.

Hope this helps.
