<p>Some Graduate Business Schools like Anderson/Haas/Sloan offer Masters in Financial Engineering. </p>
<p>Instead of studying MBA, I'm thinking about studying Financial Engineering after I graduate and obtain some work experience.</p>
<p>For my first two years in college, I wasn't really interested in Financial Engineering. However, the more I research about it, the major seems like something that would definitely help me in the future. It seems difficult, but at the same time, it seems very interesting and intriguing. </p>
<p>What do you guys know about Financial Engineering?</p>
<p>You haven’t even started your undergrad yet, why are you thinking about grad school?
So long as you go to a decent school, a mfe should place decently enough into trading, risk and research positions. It is a very different path, however and really is in no way comparable to an MBA.</p>
<p>Some thing to keep in mind:
If you want to do an mfe, major in math or CS. They will best prepare both for the mfe and the jobs that come after.</p>
<p>These programs are also very competitive. Don’t set your heart on it yet. If you get a Bs in partial differential equations and probability theory, an mfe will realistically no longer be an option. The same goes for anyone who fails to get a solid quant score on the gres.</p>
<p>I’m going to be a junior at either UCLA/USC (still thinking). I’m going to major in Business Econ at UCLA and Finance & Accounting at USC.
Thanks for your input!! I think I should do more research on mfe.</p>
