But they did say during the orientation that you may change course for free within the first few weeks, and besides, majority of the foudation subjects are the same... =)eyrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11740255329454515364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1121957951912221482005-07-21T22:59:00.000+08:002005-07-21T22:59:00.000+08:00Tony, fyi, quite a number of prestigious universit...Tony, fyi, quite a number of prestigious universities in the world offer Financial Engineering degrees, either as first degree or second degree. NUS for example, offers both Bsc. in FE as well as Msc. in FE. UC Berkeley, Stanford, University of Chicago, Columbia University and NYU are some other universities that also offer Financial Engineering degrees. Sometimes the term 'Financial Engineering' is replaced with 'Financial Mathematics' or 'Computational Finance', but the concepts and general aim for any of these courses would be almost similar. Perhaps, what one should be more concerned with is the course's contents as well as its application in the relevant industries.

I'm asking whether it should be a "degree" course in itself or would it be better as an elective or specialisation course within a "wider" degree course.<BR/><BR/>For e.g., "environmentally friendly nuclear power generation" may be a highly advanced course, but should we be offering degree courses on such? Or should it just be part of a say, Physics degree?<BR/><BR/>:) TonyGolf Afflictedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363347839543221577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1121439488413344862005-07-15T22:58:00.000+08:002005-07-15T22:58:00.000+08:00Financial engineering is not a Mickey Mouse degree...Financial engineering is not a Mickey Mouse degree. <BR/><BR/>It is intensely mathematical and requires a brain the size of a small ox just to maintain a passing grade.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1121420569818302632005-07-15T17:42:00.000+08:002005-07-15T17:42:00.000+08:00I think we ought to listen to both sides of the st...I think we ought to listen to both sides of the story before blaming them.<BR/><BR/>http://www.malaysiakini.com/letters/37285Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
