<p>Does Michigan offer a Financial Engineering major? If so, can anyone who has taken or is currently involved with it post a review of class quality, teachers, etc. Also, since the major draws from several disciplines, through which college would I take the major? Thanks.</p>
<p>Sorry, I should have clarified. I know UMich offers a masters degree in Financial Engineering, but what about an undergraduate degree?</p>
<p>Michigan doesn't offer Financial Engineering at the undergrad level. The closest major to it offered at the undergrad level is Industrial and Operations Engineering.</p>
<p>No. If it's something you really want to do, double in Electrical and IOE. That will get you into a top notch grad program.</p>
<p>I am a bit hesitant to completely focus on engineering during my undergraduate career, so would a double in Economics and Computer Science be acceptable, with several math and engineering courses taken on the side?</p>
<p>Sure, just make sure you complete all the prerequisites:

<p>There is also a Financial Mathematics major that is offered by UofM. Many of the prereq classes for the masters program are required by the major. I'm actually planning to double major in FM and Economics.</p>
<p>Is there a specific web page for the Financial Mathematics major? I can't seem to find it in the LSA or Business school sections. Thanks!</p>
<p>It's in LSA under the Mathematics major section. <a href="http://www.lsa.umich.edu/lsa/printversion/0,2062,2037*article*1434*UOM_Article,00.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.lsa.umich.edu/lsa/printversion/0,2062,2037*article*1434*UOM_Article,00.html</a></p>
<p>financial mathematics is more geared towards insurance and actuarial work I believe. You are probably much better off going for an IOE or EE degree.</p>
<p>They are actually two separate tracks: One is Actuarial Mathematics, and the other is Financial Mathematics. Courses do overlap, but they require a different set of electives.</p>
<p>IOE lines up best with the prereqs for the financial engineering masters degree.</p>
