Columbia University's engineering school offers a major in Operations Reseach/Financial Engineering, and I was wondering what kind of reputation the program has?

And also what types of opportunities it presents, strengths or weaknesses of the program, etc?

Thanks for answering!

Right. The two programs are:
1. OR
2. OR/FE (technically an OR major with FE concentration)

Now I was wondering if the OR/FE program, specifically, has any sort of reputation, and how effectively it prepares its students for careers as quants.

(I am speaking strictly of undergrad, not MS programs)
 
Ok, thats good to know.

So what kind of career would that program lead to, if not quant?
