I have never heard of Quantities Finance. Given that I have a PhD in Finance from Berkeley and have taught Finance at MIT and Wharton -- I suspect you mean something else.



Do you mean Quantitative Finance? Any school that has a good finance program will teach a number of courses that are highly quantitative. They are sometimes called Financial Engineering, Continuous Time Finance or Computational Finance.



Usually, a student who majors in finance will take a lot of mathematics as well as other business classes and economics classes. He should take a number of finance classes. All are somewhat quantitative -- but some are very mathematical. Classes you should take if you want to major in fniance are:



1. Introductory Finance (only a little math)



2. Corporate Finance (usually case based)



3. Investments (some mathematics %26amp; statistics required)



4. Derivatives (AKA Futures and Options -- very mathematical))



5. Fixed Income Finance (Interest rate processes cna be very mathematical)



After those, you can take electives that are more -- or less mathematical.



The top undergraduate business schools are also the best for finance -- they include, University of Pennsylvania (Wharton), MIT, Berkeley, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland.



A few others that are quite good are Babson, Villanova, Minnesota, Wisconsin, USC, UCLA, etc.
