BS in Mathematics vs. Statistics: Relevancy for MSFM/MFE

[BlackMamba]

I'm curious, which of the two programs would you say is more relevant for the things to be covered academically in either an MFE or MSFM, etc. program? Why?

What would you say is more relevant "generally" to a quantitatively inclined asset management firm?

I see statistics as an application of mathematics.

You need to learn real maths ASAP, e.g. starting 1t 17-18. I reckon you can always learn stats ' on the job'.

Fair points! Thanks for the input, Daniel! I'm figuring a BS in Mathematics that perhaps tailors electives to get more exposure to Statistics is one of the more sensible paths.

PS: Will be registering for the C++ course in the coming weeks, really looking forward to it!

Glad I could help

Enjoy the C++ course! It's a real skill IMO.
