While we are often asked to recommend specific courses for a potential applicant to take in order to fortify an admission application, we cannot make specific course recommendations as the curriculum varies widely from one undergraduate institution to the next. Typical undergraduate degrees include applied mathematics, economics, finance, engineering, physics, and computer science, but in the past we have admitted strong candidates with any undergraduate major. A graduate degree in any of these areas can be a plus, but is not necessary.
At a minimum, we expect applicants to be familiar in mathematics with linear algebra, multivariable calculus, differential equations, and probability and statistics at the level of an intermediate undergraduate course. In addition, we offer incoming MFin students a two-week refresher course in mathematics and probability prior to the beginning of classes in the Fall semester. This course is required.
申请普林斯顿金融硕士先修课要求？
虽然我们经常被问及如何选课才能增强入学竞争力，但由于各本科院校的课程设置差异较大，我们无法给出具体的选课建议。典型的本科专业包括应用数学、经济学、金融学、工程学、物理学和计算机科学，但以往我们也曾录取过不同专业背景的申请者。若具备上述专业的硕士学历会更具优势，但并非必需条件。
我们要求申请者至少掌握线性代数、多元微积分、微分方程及概率统计等数学知识，且需达到本科中级课程水平。此外，我们会在秋季学期开学前为金融硕士新生开设为期两周的数学与概率论预备课程，该课程为必修项目。
