<p>Hi AdmissionsDaniel!</p>
<p>Could I try to shape my own major? Princeton and Columbia have financial engineering programs. Maybe by taking the classes of their curriculum at JHU, I can design my own my major and name it as financial engineering. What do you think? Do you have such flexibility?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>For Arts & Sciences students there is a major known as Interdisciplinary Studies which does provide the flexibility of shaping ones own major. Unfortunately, this type of opportunity does not exist for engineers.</p>
<p>So the answer to your question is no. However, that should not be a big deal as at Hopkins we offer the Entrepreneurship and Management program for engineerings who are interested in supplementing their engineering studies with business and finance. Through that program and specific research and internships, you can obtain a specialization quite similar to financial engineering.</p>
