轉專業申請是否可行?轉專業申請是可以的,不過很多專業都是有先修課要求的,
以哥倫比亞大學為例
如果是金融工程, 學校要求學生修讀過以下數學課
概率論probability,微積分 calculus 線性代數 linear algebra
如果是金融數學
Prerequisites
Applicants should have a very good working knowledge of calculus, linear algebra, elementary differential equations, probability, and statistics, and a programming language.
Exposure to advanced calculus and mathematical analysis, including measure theory, is desirable but not required.
Texts recommended for self-study
Ross: “A First Course in Probability”
Mood, Graybill & Boes: “Introduction to the Theory of Statistics”
Rudin: “Principles of Mathematical Analysis”
以紐約大學金融工程為例
學校要求學生修讀過
Linear Algebra線性代數
Probability Theory概率論
Calculus (Advanced) 微積分 (高級的微積分, 如 Multivariable Calculus多元微積分)
Applied Statistics 應用統計學或統計學
Computer Programming 計算機編程語言, 比如C++ 或者JAVA
紐約大學金融數學為例
To gain admission, whether full-time, part-time, or non-degree, an applicant must demonstrate a high aptitude for quantitative reasoning. He or she must have a firm grasp of mathematics at a high undergraduate level, which includes at least the following Mathematics courses:
Multivariate calculus (including partial derivatives, multiple integrals, and Taylor series)
Linear algebra (including linear systems of equations, determinants, matrix factorization, range and null space, and eigenvalues of symmetric matrices)
Calculus-based course in probability (independence, conditional probabilities, Gaussian distribution, law of large numbers, central limit theorem)
UCLA要求更高
