Fordham MSQF - 2023 Review

Fordham is a fairly unknown program in the quant space. In the last few years they have been making good progress in enhancing the quality and specifically the rigor of the courses being taught. I cover the core courses as well as many of the textbooks being used by the program. The program is also located in Manhattan which makes networking and job placement easier for students. Industry practitioners are being brought in to speak to the students about the industry and the program is setting up students with industry projects. The biggest downfall of the program is not many people have heard of them. This makes job placement a little more challenging however I think this will change within the next few years. More communication skills also need to be taught to enhance the networking of the students.

They were selected in 2023 to be on my "Quant Finance Honorable Mentions" list which only included four schools (Fordham, University of Michigan, Carnegie Mellon, and Stony Brook).
