NYU-poly的mfe项目，学校最近给了两封邮件，说是这个项目要去上海学第一个semester，14年fall，信的内容
Dear Student I believe thatyou have received our acceptance to pursue your studies in my department,starting physically a first term in Shanghai. There were a number of questions raised by interested students that Iwish to address. First of all, allstudents that are accepted to our GCFE program also are accepted to the Masterof Science in Financial Engineering in New York with the following condition:you need to have a GPA after 18 credits of 3.5 or higher. During the first term in Shanghai some of youwill be enrolling in courses to help prepare your math or English skills forstudy in New York in the second semester. Students that wereaccepted to start in Shanghai are to take 9 credits courses given by ourProfessors who will be in Shanghai for this purpose. The following semester 9 credits are to betaken in New York (although in the future, maybe in a few years, we may providean opportunity to some students to pursue the full 18 credits in Shanghai). If you choose to continue for the Masters andhave sufficient grades then you just have to take the remaining creditsrequired for this program with the department. All the credits you took inShanghai will be recognized for the Masters as well as for GCFE (as they areour courses anyway). There may also beconferences, discussions, seminars, etc. (all of them non-credit) given inShanghai and some on-line. There may beProfessionals from Wall Street who talk about what they are doing, etc. This is a service we maintain in NY andwhich we will maintain in Shanghai as well. The idea to haveyou first begin a Graduate Certificate is an option you have and can exercisethat depends on the Grades you receive. If your grades are weak or you feel that the program is too difficultfor you to assume, you can stop at the end of your 18 credits having earned theGraduate Certificate in Financial Engineering if you have a “B” grade average(as all students do since it is an all University policy). If your grades are over a level we willdetermine (currently it is a 3.5 GPA) you will obtain the Graduate Certificateand continue automatically towards the Masters while remaining in New York fora third and fourth semester if you chose to do so. Some studentshave also raised a number of questions regarding the organization and thereasons for our expanding the program in Shanghai. Originally, thiswas a plan I had in mind to reduce the indirect costs of study in NewYork. While Shanghai may also be veryexpensive, many students have means to reduce the living expenses that areassociated to studying in Shanghai. There may also be family reasons or students currently working and whodo not wish to commit to studying in New York before knowing what are thesestudies all about. Finally, there arestudents that may be supported by their firms and will let them attend studiesin NY only for a limited amount of time. This remains my main concern…. Reduce the indirect costs and if possiblethe total costs of education and augment the access to students whose ambitionsare to be financial engineers, traders, managers and the many professions thatfinancial engineering degrees open. In addition, letme add, that in no way the quality of the program in Shanghai will be less thanthe one in New York. Further, I have expanded the program organization withadministrative staff in New York and in Shanghai to be dedicated to theShanghai program. The department hasalso a number of our outstanding Professors that will be coming to Shanghai todeliver their course and maintain subsequent communications on line till you docome prepared to New York. Within thenext few weeks, the detailed program in NYU Shanghai will be sent to all thestudents joining in Shanghai. Ipersonally assure you that it will be a first rate program reflecting ourambitions to be the best in Asia, as well.
