The finance concentration develops the skills necessary to work at a high level of expertise in all areas of finance, including: asset management and financial markets; investment banking in a global context; the financial management of commercial and industrial enterprises as well as of financial institutions; the financial aspects of venture capital, mergers and acquisitions; and global management consulting. Concentrating in finance also equips students for careers in law and the public sector.

To complete the finance concentration, students are required to take FNCE 1000, FNCE 1010 and at least four (4) additional credit units (c.u.) from courses offered by the Finance Department.

Students wishing to concentrate in Finance should also note the following policies:

  • Concentration courses cannot be taken pass/fail.
  • Only a maximum of one (1) CU in Global Modular classes, ASPs courses or FNCE 3990: Supervised Independent Study in Finance may be applied to the concentration.
  • Students cannot obtain credit for both FNCE 1010 and ECON 1020. Students who have already taken ECON 1020 must take a higher-level FNCE elective in lieu of the FNCE 1010 requirement. This elective must be in addition to the other four c.u. required for the finance concentration.

The Finance department consistently offers a very wide range of upper-level courses and new ones are introduced regularly. Each of the tracks recommended below provides a specialization in a different area of finance. Students may wish to pursue one or more of these tracks or, instead, design a more individualized path.
