<p>Curriculum of a MASTER of FE at Berkeley: MFE</a> Prospective - For Prospective Students - Curriculum - Haas School of Business
which explains why most undergrad programs are way too basic to be called FE.</p>
<p>Thanks to a CC member, I just found that Columbia's program offers unusual depth at the undergrad level. The problem is you can't apply for it until the sophomore year at Columbia.</p>
<p>Anyone know if Calc I, Calc II, Diffy Q, Linear Algebra, and upper level stat class, and a C++ programming class are sufficient prereqs to masters programs? I'm a finance major and debating taking some math classes. I did fine in Calc I, (not business calc)</p>
<p>I would recommend also taking Multivariable Calculus and Real Analysis at least also.</p>

<p>Look at Berkeley/Columbia MFE websites. They list what background you should have. Berkeley runs a summer (or whatever) program for those who don't have enough background before the MFE starts.</p>
<p>Yeah, most of them seem to have pre-programs. I'm not positive, but I get the impression they are to brush up, and they kind of expect you to have taken these classes. I may be wrong, but you're going up against some incredible competition, its probably pretty important to show you can handle complex upper level mathematics.</p>
