Program Description
The Department of Finance and Risk Engineering offers an Undergraduate Minor in Finance. The intent of this program of study is to allow NYU Tandon School of Engineering undergraduate students in the sciences and engineering to leverage their mathematical talents in a selected number of appropriate courses. This cross-school minor is also open to other NYU students with sufficient mathematics preparedness.
See Undergraduate Minor in Finance for more information about the minor.
Applying for the Minor
Apply for a minor in Albert using the link in the My Academics section of the Student Center.
Students should apply for the minor before applying for graduation. After applying for the minor, the application is then forwarded to the Home School Advising Office, Host School Advising Office, Host School Department/Program, and the Academic Dean’s office.
The departmental advisers governing the minor will have access to approve or disapprove the minor online using the Graduation Tracking Search page. If a student is registered for a course for the minor during their last semester, the adviser can still set the status to departmental approved pending current courses.
