<p>Wow, thats a ton of really good information
I am a prospective math w/ spec in economics
and the only thing that worries me about enrolling in Chicago is the lack of opportunities in undergrad to take any finance course, which has seemed to mess with a few of my close friends’/family members’ abilities to land jobs in fields that they had always dreamed of
which is why its really important for me to plan ahead, I have seen way too many people close to be be screwed in the industry game due to certain conditions that had resulted from not planning ahead</p>
<p>I figured, that the ability to co-terminal in MSFM would be the perfect way to apply the Math with spec in economics to every day markets, and to fill in the lack of finance available for undergrad without having to wait for an MBA, and even then, I was under the impression that its not anywhere near a “half-assed MBA”, but a completely different beast, geared towards specifically quant jocks, and is up there with the quant programs at Haas, Stanford, Columbia, and Princeton</p>
<p>I feel as though chicago would help out so many by offering a GSB undergrad certificate, but i guess they think that would ruin the “Chicago undergrad spirit”?
that being said,between the Chicago Careers in Business and 6 Finance courses in GSB would Chicago prepare me well enough to compete with Wharton, Northwestern, HYPSM, Duke when I’m eventually entering the job market.</p>
<p>The math and econ departments at UChi are why I love the school in the first place,
but i can’t help but be worrying about my future and where I am going to be in 4 years</p>
