<p>On the Princeton website it says:</p>
<p>(Program in) Finance..... M.Fin.</p>
<p>What does this mean? Does this mean that it is a major or minor or something else??</p>
<p>It’s a master’s program. Princeton does not offer finance as an undergraduate concentration, though there is a finance certificate for undergraduates.</p>
<p>What do you mean by a finance certificate?</p>
<p>I’m not Princeton student, but I will tell you that Cornell and Penn are the only Ivy schools with undergrad business programs.</p>

<p>The certificate is kinda sorta like a minor at other places:
[Undergraduate</a> Certificate - Bendheim Center for Finance - Princeton University](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/bcf/undergraduate/]Undergraduate”>http://www.princeton.edu/bcf/undergraduate/)</p>
<p>If you want to go into finance, you’d be in very good shape to go to Princeton and do the finance certificate with a related major (math, computer science, operations research and financial engineering, econ).</p>
<p>[Requirements</a> - Bendheim Center for Finance - Princeton University](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/bcf/undergraduate/requirements/]Requirements”>http://www.princeton.edu/bcf/undergraduate/requirements/)
The program has a lot of prerequisites… I would take most of these if I majored in economics. So would getting the certificate in finance be a good idea?</p>
<p>You could just apply for the ORFE undergraduate program. It stands for Operations Research and Financial Engineering. It seems to be very finance based.</p>
