Masters in Finance vs Masters in Mathematical Finance

[Jessy]

Hi,

I am new here and there may already be a thread about this but I was unable to find it. I am wondering what the differences are between these programs.

My main questions are:
- What are the career possibilities for each path? Like are they similar?
- What in general is required for each?
- Pros/Cons?

Thanks.

MFE (Master of Financial Engineering) is usually the preferred name, alternatively used with quantitative finance, mathematical finance, financial mathematics.
