Q: How does Princeton's MFin compare
to an MBA?
A:
Unlike an MBA program, we teach only
finance and the related prerequisite disciplines (such as statistics,
accounting, etc.). This allows us to do so at a much deeper level than in an MBA, and to
incorporate all the interdisciplinary aspects of modern finance, such as financial
mathematics, financial econometrics, computational finance, behavioral finance, corporate
finance, etc. You should be aware that our courses are more demanding, and more
quantitative, than a typical MBA course. In general, MFin graduates will not be as
attractive as MBAs in the corporate finance and M&A areas where the non-finance parts
of an MBA curriculum are useful. In fact, if that is where you really want to work, you
would probably be better off following an MBA course of study. However, if you are
interested in other areas encompassed within the modern investment bank such as
quantitative asset management, risk management, derivatives pricing and trading, fixed
income analytics and other areas where a quantitative background in the theoretical and
practical aspects of modern finance is essential, we think our program is being recognized
for both the quality of the students and the quality of the learning experience here at
 rinceton. We also note that the world of finance is much broader than the traditional
investment banking firms, with opportunities in insurance, commercial banking, commodities
and energy trading and risk management in traditional industrial companies to name only a
few. Our graduates are able to compete very effectively for these types of careers. |
