*Faculty contacts serve as "advisors" to those students who have an interest in the given concentration.
You should feel free to contact these faculty with questions.
The Finance Concentration is designed to provide functional depth in the field of Finance. Students who are interested in learning about or pursuing careers in investments, corporate finance or investment banking/financial consulting can combine the finance concentration with other non-finance course offerings or external activities to supplement the learning experience.
Requirements:
The Finance concentration requires a minimum of 4 courses beyond IME2320: Finance, totaling a minimum of 16 credits.
• At least one of the 4 courses must be a 4000 level Finance Course.
• Independent Research Projects approved by Finance faculty may count toward the concentration (with notification to the Registrar of the exception).
• MCFE’s may not count toward the concentration.

Guidance about Course Planning and Sequencing
Students interested in Finance should consult the “Paths in Finance” guide, which can be found electronically at , and also in the Finance Information Area on the first floor of Tomasso Hall.
• Though the concentration in finance requires four courses, many prospective employers expect students to take a broad array of finance courses that will exceed this number.
• Students who want to take finance to augment a concentration in another area should consider taking only one or two 3000 level finance courses.
• In the past, students who are most successful at getting finance-related job offers have also taken at least one course in Accounting (most common is Intermediate Accounting for Finance, ACC3502).
• Students who many be unsure about a path involving finance are encouraged to try out a 3000 level Finance course that sounds interesting from the list above.
