2012 Quantitative Finance Program Rankings (Only Top 30 Ranked):


These rankings are based on research conducted by Global Derivatives, Advanced Trading and Quant Network. The following reflects opinions, perspectives, market data and some degree of subjectivity which may not reflect individual opinion. We looked into the degree program, career prospects as well as faculty as part of our research. Latest admission data and reputation according to the street were also in review. The reason for a ranking such as this is not to demote or promote any of the schools, but to form a guideline for prospective students in the field instead of focusing on the MBA program surveys which can be found in most major newspapers and publications once a year. These programs are not aimed at typical M.B.A. candidates, and generally require a heavy math focus in undergrad work. You may or may not agree with our choices of rankings, or believe that a school has been omitted from the rankings thus far. The board was charged with selecting the top 30 Quantitative Finance Programs, based on Wall Street recruitability - the programs from which Wall Street firms recruit and the programs that produce the best quants.

The reason for a ranking such as this is not to demote or promote any of the schools, you may or may not agree with our choices of rankings. BTW, Mathematical Finance @ Rutgers University  is ranked in top programs as its heavy math focus and reputation on the street.
