Quick Question: Purdue MSF and Rutgers MFin. I got the offers from these 2 schools, which one is better?


Quick Answer: Purdue is a bit more well known than Rutgers, but Rutgers is a strong program as well and it also has the advantage of being close to NYC, which can help in terms of networking opportunities and access to local alumni (since many stay in the area) as well as career prospects. I’d reach out to each school for employment stats to confirm that you are seeing alumni securing jobs at companies where you want to work. It’s also important to make sure you feel a connection with the culture of the school. So much of the value of a masters is the network you form, and you will be best positioned to leverage that network if you feel a genuine connection to the people at a school.
