Financial Mathematics (LSA) and Finance (Ross)

<p>How common is it for someone to do a double major of financial mathematics and finance with LSA and Ross, respectively. Is this hard to do, or is there enough overlap to do it with some wiggle room in 4 years?</p>

<p>Ross is hard as it is so it is difficult to do Ross and financial math.</p>

<p>It's not very common because it's a pretty redundant double major (if financial mathematics is even offered as a major, I thought it was just a concentration)</p>

<p>Totally do-able. At least 3 of my friends are going this particular route.</p>

<p>I don't agree. Ross doesn't give you a strong math background and financial math is pretty rigorous. It's a good combination (imo.)</p>

<p>Is there a financial math degree or an actuary degree?</p>

<p>UM</a> Mathematics-Actuarial</p>

<p>I think that its always a math degree with either a concentration in financial mathematics or actuarial mathematics</p>

<p>There are a few people at Ross doing both business and financial mathematics, so yes, it's completely do-able.</p>

<p>Ideally, though, you'll want to get a 5 on the Calc BC AP so you can start out in Calc 3 your first semester freshman year.</p>
