How much math for Masters in Finance

Not looking for financial engineering here, just a masters in finance.

I'm just looking for a soft baseline and trying to open up the discussion to learn more on the subject. I want to get into Corporate Finance but don't want to apply to an MBA right after undergrad. This is where a MS Finance comes in.

Currently this would be the math classes I take (w/ major in Economics and minor in Finance)...

Calc I-III
Intro to Linear Algebra
Ordinary Differential Equations I (364A)
Probability and Statistics (380)
Mathematical Statistics (381)
Economic Statistics
Econometrics I+II

These are the schools I am shooting for...

Fisher College (Ohio State - Specialized Master in Finance)
Olin Business School (Wash U. @ SL - MS Finance [Corporate Finance])
Owen Graduate School of Management (Vanderbilt - MS Finance [Corporate Finance])
Dearborn College (U of Michigan - MS in Finance)
Freeman School of Business (Tulane - MS Finance)

Is a minor in finance useful if i want to get a masters in finance? Or should I drop finance and just minor in math?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

You have more than enough. Business Calc and stats is about all you need for most MSF programs. The more math the better, but no reason to worry.
