as i know, math courses in the offered in the business school is not highly valued, compared to those offered by the Math department. Many successful applicants to the PHD Finance program have rigorous training in math and stat, as well as Econometrics. as an undergrad, i guess it would be fine if you have had multi-variable calculus, liner algebra, differential euqation (ordinary and partial), some probability and intro Econometrics. i would say all these are basic stuff. it would be great if you go further and study stochastic process,time-series analysis.etc. but onece again, there is no fix rule. maybe you can think about MBA instead of PHD, maybe a better investment with higher marginal benefits. it all depends what you love and your career goals. |
