　　Can you tell us a bit about your background?

　　I graduated in Physics from Harvey Mudd College and went to work for a year in a small business software company as a consultant.

　　Did you get admitted to other programs?

　　No

　　Why did you choose this program (over others, if applicable)?

　　N/A

　　Tell us about the application process at this program

　　I secured admission bore leaving my undergraduate program. It was very easy to apply because Harvey Mudd and Claremont Graduate University are just across the street from each other. Thus, most of the admission process was carried out in person. During the rest of the admission process e-mail and phone communication was prompt and helpful. There were no problems with the admission process as the online application was straightforward and well thought out. I did enroll as part of a 4+1 year masters program available to undergraduates of the Claremont Colleges.

　　On a scale of 1-10, how would you grade the accessibility of the faculty and staff?

　　6

　　Programs like Baruch MFE, UCB MFE have rresher courses for incoming students. Does this program offer such courses? How usul was it?

　　While the program itself does not have rresher courses, taking courses at the undergraduate institutions of the Claremont Colleges is both possible and encouraged.

　　On a scale of 0-10, how would you grade the usulness of these rresher courses?

　　0

　　Tell us about the courses selection in this program. Any special courses you like?

　　There is a set curriculum of core courses taught in a specific order. Of the 12 required courses, 8 are mandated parts of the curriculum and 4 of the courses are electives. Selection of elective courses is highly teacher specific. If a good teacher is teaching a class it will be gold. The courses I especially like were Financial Accounting (a required part of the curriculum) and Fixed Income (an elective) and I liked those courses because the teachers in the courses were excellent.

　　On a scale of 1-10, how would you grade the flexibility of the curriculum?

　　9

　　Tell us about the quality of teaching

　　The teaching quality is quite variable. One of my favorite teachers has won 14 teaching awards during his time at several of the Claremont Colleges. The other favorite teacher is a retired accountant and has put in the fort to write his own book that we use in the classroom. Due to both natural ability and conscious fort, he is an excellent teacher. Other teachers I have encountered have been ‘good,’ although one teacher was terrible. These solidly good teachers give instructive classes but would could to put more fort into coordinating their classes, better tailoring their homework problems, and sharing more ‘pearls of wisdom’ from outside the textbook.

　　My teacher rating of 8 indicates that there are at least two excellent teachers, and the majority are good teachers.
