Hi there, my friend. An MFE is basically an applied math degree. Therefore, these schools require solid math background from your undergraduate study. It is important that you have a command of Stochastic Processes, Calculus, Statistics and Probability. Also, in order to be competitive, you should have great programming skills and an understanding of computer science. Most of the work you’ll be doing is building math models and then programming code to implement them.
All in all, schools will not care much about your specific undergraduate degree, but they do care what you’ve studied and also what you’ve achieved. It’s usually the case that engineering and math majors have better training and experience in the areas required for MFE degrees. That’s why most of the students in MFE programs come from these majors.
I’d suggest you evaluate your career goal first: what do you want to do in the future? Then, carefully consider your undergraduate study. You will emerge with a better idea of whether an MFE is the right choice for you. Hope this helps!
