Cornell FE Cornell M.FinEng

[CUFE]

Would that be considered "lying on your resume" though? Because your diploma and transcript both say your M. Eng degree is "ORIE" major. Your diploma and transcript will not mention anything about FE concentration. Cornell does not "techinically" offer M. Eng in FE.

You earn a separate Dean's Certificate in Financial Engineering, signed by the Deans of the Johnson Graduate School of Business and the College of Engineering, which is granted with your M.Eng. degree at graduation. I can tell you that while I wish Cornell would have the degree be FE instead of OR with a concentration in FE, this was not an issue for any of my former classmates when searching for jobs.

I should also add that everyone in my class (which graduated eight months ago) found jobs in finance, aside from the two that left the industry altogether. Last time I posted I think I said there were a few left that had not found jobs. I just haven't posted in the last few months.

Also, as an aside, it's not ORIE, it is just OR. IE (Industrial or Information Engineering...they changed it a few years back) has not been part of the degree title for many years. The school name is OR&IE, but the graduate degree just says Master of Engineering in Operations Research.
