<p>Hey, everybody. I am about to enter undergraduate programs and wish to obtain a Quantitative Finance(or something similar) master/PhD later. I will take a lot of Mathematics, Computer Programming and Physics courses at undergraduate level. However, to prepare for my graduate degree, should I take many Economics courses as well? How should I best prepare myself for graduate life while studying at undergraduate level?</p>
<p>Why not look at the admissions sites for grad quant finance programs and just hit all of the requirements? I think these programs generally take people from math/science backgrounds, some might already have advanced degrees and some might not. I know here at CMU the quant finance undergrad program page has a little note at the bottom of the requirements encouraging majors to take one or two econ courses.</p>
