哥大QMSS VS UMICH MAE，求教！

小R啊UID: 3636882

今天凌晨收到了哥大QMSS的offer，本来是已经打算去UMICH 的MAE的，现在比较纠结，因为之后是打算回国就业，没想过在美国找工作，是想回国在金融行业找工作。。。不知道现在这两个学校比较起来哪个更适合回国就业呢？

报一下其他的AD, 塔夫斯，范德堡，乔治城，JHU, umich 还有一个杜克的WL， 但也不抱希望了。。。

拜托啦

This is university name vs subject name on the CV........

I guess putting "Economic Concentration" on the CV will help solve the problem.....

哥大master现在在国内的名声毁誉参半吧。。。不过UMich在国内recruiter们心中是个什么档次的学校也不确定，最好问问你想进的金融行业的人。个人感觉这俩项目回国就业效果应该差不多，主要看你更偏好哪个的课程设置和地理位置了。据我所知MAE项目可以选一些MBA课，QMSS不清楚。

why?

MAE's definitely more applied than QMSS since they say on the official webpage that it's a terminal master program. i suppose it would be more helpful in terms of employability to be honest. It's tough to get a job after econ master so ...

stating that it is a terminal master program on the program website doesn't have any implication on the content of the program itself.

a terminal master is something that one can apply to during application process, in contrast to some MPhil/MREs (in US) which is obtained during the process towards PhD (e.g. get something after passing the qualifying exam), and a prospective student has no way to apply them alone.

Therefore QMSS (or any master people are discussing here) is a terminal master also.

P.S. the reason why a school has to state explicitly that a master is terminal is to make things clear. This normally only happens in US university since this is the only major country that a master is not required for admission of PhD.

I think I am quite clear indeed.......

well, I will vote for Columbia, mainly during to the shorter duration and thus lower cost.
Location is also a concern, but since both are non-STEM and one is quite unlikely to find a job to stay so it matter less. (for sure NY is a better place to find an internship or to use the OPT)

楼主最后决定去QMSS了么？

QMSS已毕业工作校友补充一下：QMSS是stem的，有不少同学毕业做了data analyst/data scientist这种。不过LZ想回国的话，是不是stem倒也无所谓了

怎么这帖子还能看见？都啥时候了！很多人在纠结美国硕士水不水，其实读美国硕士如果不是为了接着读博士的话，可以说都很水，既然都很水，还不如选一个有名气的大学读读。假如不差钱的话，选哥伦比亚大学为上，何况纽约毕竟是大城市啊，安娜堡怎么说也是大农村。还有一点，万一你在美国改了注意想留下来工作呢？QMSS是STEM，这很重要。
