<p>I am currently in High School and am interested in business as well as engineering. I was just wondering what classes a financial or managment engineering major would consist of. Also, what types of jobs do these people normally get upon graduation??
Thanks for your help.</p>
<p>bump, anybody?</p>
<p>most are masters programs.
You need to finish a rigorous undergraduate engineering program first. (You're thinking a bit too ahead.)</p>
<p>Look for reputable engineering programs. Electrical Engineering, Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, these would all be good college majors.</p>
<p>Then graduate and get some good experience in financial services.</p>
<p>Then apply for a masters in financial engineering (top programs are super competitive). Then you begin your job as a quantitiative modeler/risk management expert using high-level math like partial differential equations to solve optimization and other problems.</p>
<p>ace009711, these are some of the undergraduate courses that financial engineer's take.</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon's Tepper School of Business has a program for financial engineers at an undergraduate level. But as you can imagine, it's super competitive and only accepts 10 people. My understanding is that financial engineers get employed at investment banks. </p>
<p>Computer Science might be a good major too <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Engineering%5B/url%5D">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Engineering</a></p>
