yrt Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I am an undergraduate student majoring in finance, and after graduation from statistics master program I plan to work in finance industry. Now I am making final decision from these two statistics programs: UNC-Chapel Hill's MS instore, which has low student-to-faculty rate and gives more attention to students. Columbia U's MA stat, which locates in NYC(more chances but at the same time many other competitive programs) and has a big name. UNC-CH is more selective than CU and has a much smaller program. What matters more in looking for internship and jobs? A good program or a good location? Is there many opportunities in North Carolina, e.g. research triangle, charlotte? BTW, I also have two master of finance offers: UCSD and JHU. What about these two? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidAndroid Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 From what I've gathered on this forum and around the web, Columbia's program is really big. This means you're likely facing hundreds (~300) of others as competition for those finance jobs in New York. The MA program doesn't seem to be on par with the reputation of the department.

yrt Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Thank you! This program seems not have a very good reputation. Will Columbia University and NYC provide more chances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
