<p>Is this major available for undergraduates? I was wondering because on the site it was listed under MBA or something.....</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure "Quantitative Analysis" is a major for graduate students. You may be able to follow a QA track as a Finance major in Tepper as an undergraduate.</p>
<p>Computational Finance is a major available for undergraduates.</p>
<p>Do investment banks and quant-oriented hedge funds hire many computational finance majors?</p>
<p>Well it's just one person, but...my son and roommate now in NYC both graduated from CMU in May. The roommate was a computational finance major, is i-bank first year analyst at Lehman Bros. His (roommate's) gpa was very high, near 4.0 plus he's very outgoing (great interview I'd assume).</p>
<p>Lehman? Wow, that's cool...thanks.</p>
<p>You will get great offers coming out of Carnegie Comp Fi. The only problem is Carnegie is in Pittsburgh or else id go...</p>
<p>U.S. News has a ranking of Undergraduate Quantitative Analysis programs, so therefore, it is an undergrad study.</p>
<p>not all U's offer this major, but of those that do, CMU's rank is third behind MIT and Penn. </p>
<p>wow this is an old thread, how things change. DS's roommate (referenced above) sadly lost his job last fall, as did everyone at Lehman.</p>
