Quantitative Corporate Finance and Investments Major | 2018
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.
