Fordham MS Investor Relations or Tulane MFin?

accepted to both for upcoming terms...Let me know what you think in terms of better job placements post program, curriculum of actual degree, people, overall environment, anything...thanks

 

Tulane probably better known but Fordham better location for recruiting/networking. I'm basing this purely on my knowledge of the two schools and not the programs themselves. An MS in IR sounds a bit soft also.

I agree MIR less quant oriented, but better location for recruiting....do you know what type of jobs one can be considered for MIR? That being said, leaning more towards tulane's Mfin even though gulf coast/texas is not necessarily on the top of my list for living afterwards....

Not sure what types of jobs you can get with an MIR. My best guess would be F500 working for IR department. I have a lot of friends that went to Tulane for undergrad and loved their experience. Also, Tulane has a very strong alumni network in NYC so don't think it would be difficult to find your way to the Northeast if you leverage the network.

nice, thanks for the input -- you seem like you know what you're talking about, quick question: since Tulane Mfin only graduates approximately 50 per year, what do you think would be the best approach to sparking networking opportunities with previous MFin graduates (working in nyc)....and further, would reaching out to Undergraduate Alumni in the business in NYC area be an option as well?
