<p>So far I've got Columbia, Princeton, MIT, and UCLA. Any others?</p>
<p>I am not even really sure what that is supposed to be. Do you make bridges out of papier-m</p>
<p>i think they go into finance industry after graduation. they aren't your "tradiational" engineers...</p>
<p>Computational</a> finance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>
<p>exerpt: Computational finance or financial engineering is a cross-disciplinary field which relies on mathematical finance, numerical methods and computer simulations to make trading, hedging and investment decisions, as well as facilitating the risk management of those decisions....</p>
<p>Ok, so it is more of a business major. If you want info on this op, I would suggest reposting in the business major forum. I would guess they would be more likely to know.</p>
<p>I don't think you'd be prepared to do quant work with just an undergrad degree in financial engineering, considering that traditional roles are filled by PhDs in heavily quantitative subjects (I think those with an MS degree in financial engineering are starting to become acceptable).</p>

Wikipedia makes it sound more like an applied math major with a bit of CS thrown in.</p>
<p>It is certainly a lot more mathematical than it is "business". It doesn't take a genius to understand what derivatives are, but it will certainly take someone with heavy mathematical and programming knowledge to devise an algorithm to price derivatives.</p>
<p>Look into what schools offer operations research or management science. Financial engineering is a subject covered within these fields I mentioned. Some schools that offer an operations research major or a management science major are MIT and Cornell.</p>
