对于WUSTL WAM新track的一点小想法

mw653

这个项目其实今年第一届，2016年快要年尾再开。楼主不才到第三round才申。选课上，这个项目和WUSTL王牌项目MSF-C track重合度很大。c-track就业率百分百当然也会生源有关。国际生很少录，一定程度上录得中国人都是有拿美国身份的。WAM目前录取群保持在30人左右。也不排除没有进群的人。这样一来重合度大，容易一起上课，上课的话相对来说课堂国际生比例会稀释掉，变少。

这个帖子主要是想讲一下课程。最近小伙伴跟我提到capstone课程。我心里一愣，我都没有看过自己录取的program有没有类似课程。不查还好一查吓一跳。

项目是11个月。从7月份开始上课。非常intensive。国际生上四门课。每天一门课四小时。10天上完一门课。周一上到周六。这样就完成了所谓的暑期课程。
暑期课程如下：
Investment theory; Advanaced corporate finane I- valuation; Derivative Secuitites; Options and Futures

重点来了 Fall semester 和 spring semester；我总结了一下总共有四节课和capstone教学类似。或者直接和当地公司合作。四节什么概念，你可以在简历上写到爆炸啊，四个直接project参与经历。讲真，我觉得msf和mf还有金数非常不一样，msf最讲究project经历，应届毕业以后入职，要工作经验没工作经验。这个时候project太重要了。而且最重要的一点在用这种教学形式直接和当地公司合作可以更好地去partner公司找工作。
