good part time FE programs in NYC?

[ooff]

Hi,

Just moved to NYC area and I'm currently working full time. However, I'd like to move my career more towards quants. So, I'm thinking about taking some good part time programs in financial engineering or quantitative finance. Ideally, I'd like to earn a master degree after my part time studies.

Could any one advice some part time programs here? I have almost no clue around this area. I heard Carnegie Mellon has some programs in NYC and maybe also Stanford? Maybe just rumours...

Also, what's the difference between "Mathmatics of Finance" and "Financial Engineer" programs? Are the former programs focus more on math and the latter is kind of broader?

Any input will be highly appreciated.

There is a great program in Financial Engineering at Baruch College of CUNY!
Here is the link http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/math/masters.html
You can be a part-time or a full-time student.

Another vote for Baruch MFE program here :D

There are more than 6 programs in NYC areas and potentially more in 2008. A good program does not differentiate part-time or full-time tracks.

A list of them can be found here http://www.fenews.com/directories/universities/index.html

Different programs have different names with different focuses. Names can be misleading. Look at their courses and syllabi.
