Personalized Plan

Students take Introduction to Finance the week before the term begins. This gives them a solid understanding of basic financial concepts they will revisit in later courses. The rest of the curriculum is divided into 12 credit hours in core courses and 21 credit hours in electives. We offer a wide variety of electives ranging from investment banking, financial analysis, risk management, and more so you can customize your plan of studies.

Practical Experience

One of our most sought-after electives is the Student Managed Investment Fund course, a collaborative class that provides valuable, real-time experiential learning in securities analysis and portfolio management. This is your chance to oversee more than $1M in assets.
