<p>I'm a high school senior interested in math, stats, computer science, and quantitative finance. I'm leaning towards Operations Research and Financial Engineering at Princeton as an ideal major given my quantitative skills and future goals (hedge fund, high frequency trading, etc). </p>
<p>I was wondering if any undergraduate programs similar to ORFE exist at other universities where there is a strong focus on applying quantitative methods to create financial models?</p>
<p>I’ve heard that doing a mix of econ/math and/or compsci will help you land a quant job on Wall Street. Apparently ORFE is ‘especially excellent’ preparation for that kind of stuff though.</p>
<p>CMU and Columbia have similar programs.</p>
<p>BUMP. Does anyone know any other ORFE-alikes? I would like to know for other schools, perhaps non top-tier as well?</p>
<p>Columbia, University of Southern California, Northwestern, Cornell, University of Michigan (Financial mathematics), probably MIT and Wharton? Some of these are graduate programs though. </p>
<p>Columbia</p>

<p>Do you know what the respective program at CMU is? I tried finding an undergraduate one, but to no avail</p>
<p>@lb43823 its called computational finance (<a href=“Bachelors of Science in Computational Finance - Mathematical Sciences - Mellon College of Science - Carnegie Mellon University”>http://www.math.cmu.edu/undergraduate/bscf.html</a>)</p>
