I've been looking at various applied masters' in math programs, but the tuition of many of the best programs in the US is prohibitively expensive given a lack of information about student placement (only a mention of where the best students have gone, spotty statistics about where the median student ended up).
Where are the well-respected yet less expensive programs? Are there any good programs in Canada or Europe that place well into industry (whether it be industrial math, finance, insurance, etc.)?
Edit: To clarity, I am mainly interested in the financial industry post-graduation, but I'm to other scientific applications of applied math. I don't want to get a financial math degree because I feel it is too niche.
