<p>for undergraduates?</p>
<p>So far, I have only been able to find 3 schools. Michigan, UCSB, and SDSU are three schools where you can major in this field. Others?</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon may have the best of all.</p>
<p>I don’t know if it matter to you, but Stanford has very high math requirements for all undergraduate Econ. majors and a MS in some sort of mathematical finance.</p>
<p>princeton has a finance certificate so that you can major in math with an emphasis on finance. They also have math-track econ and an engineering program “operations research and financial engineering”</p>
<p>Dstark, I know how you feel about those nasty LAC’s, 
but here’s one with an undergraduate mathematical finance major: <a href=“http://www.knox.edu/mathematicalfinance.xml[/url]”>http://www.knox.edu/mathematicalfinance.xml</a> </p>
<p>And, a list of other program possibilities from the International Association of Financial Engineers:</p>

<p>As well as this link – scroll down to “Of interest to students” which links to some programs, mostly at the graduate level.

<p>Carolyn, I really have no problem with LACs. If one of my kids wanted to go to a LAC, I would support that decision. I was probably a little harsh in that other thread. :)</p>
<p>Thanks for the links.</p>
<p>A little but no worries. 
</p>
<p>I’m sure your kids, like mine, visited and researched a variety of options and types of schools before deciding on their personal preferences and what would work best for them, and that, ultimately is what it’s all about.</p>
<p>I was a little tired of reading how great a particular school is… Sw… :)</p>
<p>Now, now. You have your M. moments too my dear. And, I’m sure that by this time next year, I’ll be touting a particular LAC in Wisconsin. It’s only human nature to want to believe that we’re not writing out those $40,000 a year checks for nothing. LOL! :)</p>
<p>By the way, who is interested in mathematical finance of all things?</p>
<p>Dstark, one way to find more information would be to study the courses at schools offering Master’s in the field. In addition, you may want to check a number of schools that offer similar courses without having the exact degree. Financial mathematics seems to take several distinct forms in merging finance and mathematics, or economics and math, or even financial engineering with a number of technical programs. </p>
<p>It also seems that there are many schools in Europe that offer such degrees, but that it might be a matter of semantics. </p>

<p>However, I would encourage to seek to ascertain WHY the degree is more popular at the master’s level. For instance a review of the students participating in the program at Stanford speaks volume about the level of preparation the students have accumulated BEFORE entering this highly specialized field. </p>

<p>“I’ll be touting a particular LAC in Wisconsin”</p>
<p>Does LAC stand for Liberal Amounts of Cheese in Wisconsin?</p>
<p>Oh, while not exactly what you seek, CMC does have a similar program:</p>
<p><a href=“Web Email Access | Claremont McKenna College”>Web Email Access | Claremont McKenna College;
<p>MIT and Harvard have various varieties of finance/econ/applied math that can be combo-ed.</p>
<p>“Now, now. You have your M. moments too my dear.”</p>
<p>Is it that noticeable? :)</p>
<p>“And, I’m sure that by this time next year, I’ll be touting a particular LAC in Wisconsin. It’s only human nature to want to believe that we’re not writing out those $40,000 a year checks for nothing. LOL!”</p>
<p>I expect hundreds of threads of touting. :)</p>
<p>Xiggi, thanks for the following link.</p>

<p>Very impressive students.</p>
<p>dstark, Stanford has a co-term program, my son did it. He took grad courses in Financial Math while working on his undergraduate–he got his BS in MC&S and his MS in FM in 5 years. He loved it. Very flexible and he was able to take every cs course available as well.</p>
<p>1Down2togo, what is your son doing now?</p>
<p>He’s in the quant group at an investment bank–needed both math and cs.</p>
<p>That’s great.</p>
