<p>Hi guys, just a question.</p>
<p>So, I am applying next fall (OOS applicant fml) and I was just wondering what I should do. I want to do engineering and then later get an MBA and enter the buisness field. I know some schools offer majors like operational and management engineering & financial engineering. That is what I am really looking to do. </p>
<p>Does UCB offer something like that? Or would I have to apply to only Haas or only their normal College of Engineering? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>There is an Operation Research Department under L&S and an IEOR (Industrial Engineering and Operation Research) department under College of Engineering and both of them are excellent.</p>
<p>You could also apply to an engineering major of your choice, complete the pre-requisites for Haas once you get here (some of which you will complete for your primary major anyway), apply to Haas as a sophomore, and then double-major if you get in. It is doable, though your last two years will be most/all of your upper-division Haas classes + engineering requirements, so those years may be disproportionately busy.</p>
<p>do ieor imo</p>
<p>is IEOR better for job placement? I want to work in NYC on Wall St. or something similar in a big city. And to basketballkid124, do you get a degree from both Haas and the College of Engineering?</p>
<p>Possible ways to do what you appear to be thinking of:</p>
<p>Applied math or statistics in the College of Letters and Science, with selected advanced courses in economics, business, and/or IEOR
IEOR in the College of Engineering
ORMS in the College of Letters and Science
Business with second major, minor, or selected advanced courses in math, statistics, or IEOR</p>
<p>If you wanna work at NYC, you really shouldn’t choose Berkeley… I think even NYU could serve you better than us for your goal.</p>
<p>Ok, but just in general then. Is it possible to do a dual degree? A degree in IEOR from the COE and one from Haas? Or is it just one or the other with flexibility to take some courses like economics?</p>
<p>I don’t think an IEOR degree with worth very much honestly. If you want to go into quant, a math/stats + business works a lot better. In general, I don’t see how an engineering degree will help in any way.</p>
<p>UCBAlumnus is correct. I suggest Haas+Stats for quantitative finance (sounds like that’s what you want to do.) Worked for my friends. </p>
<p>Also, consider Computer Science, since a lot of quant shops are focusing on algorithmic trading.</p>
