A number of MBA students who desire careers in fields other than finance often pursue finance for a co-concentration or as a minor because of the excellent preparation it affords them.

The finance concentration allows students to tailor their program to their professional goals and to prepare for one or more of the following career opportunities:

Investment Management: This focus prepares the candidate for a career as a security analyst, money manager, brokerage firm analyst, insurance company representative, or other financial job function.

Corporate Financial Management: Financial management is concerned with the duties of the financial manager in business, including risk management, strategic planning, budgeting, financial forecasting, cash management, credit administration, investment analysis, and funds procurement.

Commercial & Investment Banking: This specialty is geared toward those who plan management careers in commercial banking, investment banking or capital markets. Course work attempts to blend coverage of traditional commercial banking topics (lending, investment and trust services) with investment banking topics (underwriting, market-making, and initial public offerings), in keeping with the trend of consolidation for these two areas.
