<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I am majoring in "Engineering and Management". I am not really sure what does this major consist in. Is it exactly like Industrial Engineering ? What is it exactly? I've been told that it's a very bad major because it's too general, but I noticed that Stanford University offers it. My goal is to complete my master's degree at Columbia University. I was at the begining interested in Industrial Engineering then I realised that Financial Engineering is more interesting. Do I have my chances to get accepted in MSFE program at Columbia or is it preferable to switch my major to Computer Science.</p>
<p>P.S: I also want to complete an MBA (concentration: Entrepreneurship). And by the way, my minor is "Software Engineering".</p>
<p>Thank you. :)</p>
<p>okay Stanford has a “Engineering and Management Science” program. And if this is what you are refering to, it is very similar if not identical to Industrial Engineering. But I am not sure if just Engineering Management is the same as Industrial Engineering. What are some of the classes you are required to take?</p>
<p>This is the whole list of courses I need to complete in order to graduate:</p>

<p>The program is similar to IE being that you take a certain amount of Engineering classes outside of IE, and the core math, computer science, other science classes are similar.</p>
<p>But your program seems to lack more classes in Statistics and Probability that are found in alot of IE programs. And your program requires alot of Humanities and Language classes, which is unusual for someone in an Engineering program. That being said, I do not think your program is the same as IE.</p>
<p>But overall, in my opinion, this seems to be a good program that is science and math oriented which is a plus in any engineering program. </p>
<p>On the other hand, I am still a student, so maybe someone who already has an IE degree or is further into the program can give you a better answer.</p>
