<p>I want to pursue master degree in Master of Science in Finance or Financial Engineering or Mathematical Finance or Computational Finance. But I dont know whether I should take Finance undergrad major or econ major or stat major or math major? I'm currently sophomore whose declared major is Finance.
Or is there any supplemental courses that I could take without changing my declared major and still could get into graduate school in those above programs?
Thanks.</p>

<p>Major in finance and take as many math/stat classes as possible (MSFin.)or major in Math and take as many finance courses as possible (MS FinE)</p>

<p>Thanks for replying so soon. :slight_smile:
But if I still stick at Finance major,what math courses should I take? I just want to know the which directions of math courses should I take to fit me in MSinFinance degree… Could you give me a rough idea about it? I’m taking Cal II right now…</p>

<p>Get some programming background too. C# is useful for financial engineering. Then speak to a finance professor. They will fill you in on the rest.</p>

<p>Would Masters Financial Engineering be difficult if you took BS Finance and all the required calculus, linear algebra, stats and computer science class instead of majoring in Math?</p>

<p>you would be better off.</p>

<p>Could you offer some graduate schools who have decent financial engineering program? It seems that most great school I know just offer MBA in Finance, like Stanford…</p>
