<p>i was wondering if anyone could help me out on this:</p>

<p>is financial engineering a completely separate major from the industrial engineering and operations research program. As in, can you major in only financial engineering without the whole operations research and industrial engineering stuff. i'm a bit confused because on columbia's website, financial engineering isn't show as one of their academic programs, and it's only listed under the industrial engineering and operations research program and website.</p>

<p>For the 3-2 program, can you double major? or have a major and a minor? like taking east asian studies at columbia college for your BA degree, and then taking say, chemical engineering AND industrial engineering at SEAS??</p>

<p>financial engineering is a degree within the department of IEOR. IEOR now offers degrees in 4 subjects: IE, OR, Engineering Management Systems, and Financial Eng.</p>

<p>For the 3-2 program, you'll be going crazy just trying to finish one major. All the 3-2s i know (and I know a bunch) are working their tails off because they basically have 2 years to do 3 years worth of work.</p>
