<p>So I'm currently a junior in mechanical engineering and am slowly realizing that I'm not interested in most engineering related careers. I've come too far to just change my major, so I'm definitely not doing that. But I'm starting to think about going to grad school afterward for finance. I have to give it more thought to make sure it's something I really wanna do, but I have a few questions.</p>
<p>1) Is it possible to get a masters in finance with an engineering degree?</p>
<p>2) If I do this would I be at a disadvantage in any way by not having a BS in finance or other related field?</p>
<p>3) Has anyone on here gone through the same situation? Any advice or info would be awesome!</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<li>yes</li>
<li>no</li>
<li>no, but I know that all you need are high level math classes and you’ll be a good candidate for the MS</li>

<p>I have a relative who is an engineering major, and now is a professor of finance in one of the top business schools in the world. Definitely possible, and not in a disadvantage. Grad schools for finance will want you to have the quantitative skills to handle their courses more than just having a finance background beforehand. They will teach you finance. You should probably just take some electives in finance though.</p>
<p>Engineering is a great background for an MSF. You will be fine.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses. Should I take finance related electives like foreignrelations said? Or is that not necessary?</p>
<p>Completely possible! Take math and stat classes. Stat classes are helpful for sure.</p>
