Major in Quantitative Corporate Finance and Investment
This major targets those students interested in careers in the tools, analysis and making of corporate and business financial decision-making from a quantitative perspective. These decision processes may be short-term or long term. Long term decisions typically deal with the choice and type of corporate investments, sources of equity or debt funding and financial risk management. Short term decisions mainly deal with working capital management of short term assets and liabilities. There are several professional bodies covering corporate treasurers and analysts.
The major study has the additional requirements that the following subjects be completed from the elective list: CSCI114, CSCI103, CSCI124, MATH305, MATH317 and STAT304.
For the Honours program, STAT471, MATH472 AND FIN423 must also be completed.
For the non-Honours program, MATH321, FIN320 and FIN351 must also be completed.
