"We hear from our students that they choose the Haas School's MFE program not only for its academic strengths, but for its track record in career placements," says Linda Kreitzman, director of the MFE program. "As this year's students build on their already-strong quantitative and analytical abilities with financial economics, I look forward to helping place them in internships and professional positions as well.
