<p>Does any one know which schools are offering quantitive analysis or finance as a major? I haven't find many of them. (so far i have found that MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, University of Michigan, James Madison in east region)</p>

<p>does anyone have US news Best colleges ranking for undergraduate business specialties in Quantitative Analysis?</p>

<p>Often quantitative financial analysis is offered as a graduate major. As for finance though, I believe you can add Penn and NYU to your list.</p>

<p>carnegie mellon's finance program largely revolves around rigourous quantitative analysis. possibly because of its strong engineering and technical background.</p>

<p>finance is normally under business for undergrad. you normally ged a business admin. degree with a focus in finance or whatever. i am interested in this field as well. I am taking a different approach however. My plan is to major in engineering and hopefully get a second major in finance(depending on school.. i think i can place out of a lot of classes). Engineering is a strong degree that most financial firms think strongly of because of the rigor and determination of students. After that I plan to get an MBA from a good school(Once again engineers are looked highly upon and moreso than undergrad buz-adm degrees).</p>

<p>Basically the analysis skills you get in a engineering degree are unmatched by the undergrad buz-adm degree and companies realize this. I suggest that you go for an undergrad degree in engineering with a minor in finance. You will get a good job in a financial firm and will move up the ladder with your newly developed analysis skills. remember a buz-adm degree is much easier to receive(excluding Wharton) than an engineering degree and businesses recognize this.</p>

<p>Hollaratmecollege why such a dumb post? Babson is known for Entrepreneurship not Finance or Quant. Analysis. C'mon you know that too. Why the heck do you go around recommending Babson when it should not be recommended. I have a feeling you are going to Babson and not NYU. There would be no reason for you to recommend it in this situation. Penn State and the Nittany Lions rock the world. Even better...our business program is a serious winner. Penn State Class of 2009!!!!!</p>
