Illinois MMF program has been discontinued

It was brought to my attention today that the Mathematical Finance program at IIT (Illinois Institute of Technology) has been discontinued. I know the people running the program, Prof. Igor Cialenco and Prof. Tomasz Bielecki for over a decade.
It was last ranked 25th in the 2020 QuantNet Rankings of top MFE programs.
In its place will be a new MS in FinTech program, headed by Prof. Matthew Dixon. I expect that we will learn more about the MS FinTech program in the near future.

Just want to update that this program has been put on hold since 2022.

Illinois Institute of Technology - Master in Mathematical Finance

The program was put on hold in 2022 after the departure of its director Matthew Dixon.
