Finance Concentration

The Finance Concentration has been developed to provide MBA graduates with broad professional competence and skills to prepare students for careers in executive positions at banks, financial institutions and other firms. The Finance concentration is designed to lead students to an extensive understanding of a core set of skills in financial modeling, debt and equity issues, valuation, mergers and acquisitions, financial planning, risk management, financial reporting and analysis, and taxation necessary in the modern corporate finance positions as well as in other careers such as consulting.  By incorporating critical strategies and techniques in areas such as investment and commercial banks; financial as well as general management consulting; venture capital and private equity firms; and corporate finance within 500 large-cap companies, graduates will be primed for financial challenges in both the national and international arena.
