Finance majors learn about managing an organization's financial resources and capital structure, the functioning of capital markets and financial instruments and banking. Finance graduates find job opportunities in corporations, the investment and securities business, banks and other financial institutions. Students learn about: security analysis and valuation, security trading, government policy and financial markets, financial forecasting, capital structure, financial risk management, venture capital, security issuance and international finance. A significant part of the coursework teaches you to understand risk and uncertainty, both at an intuitive level and at a technical level. More importantly, you learn to construct models of financial decisions, e.g. an investor’s portfolio choice problem, the issuance of securities by corporations and the structure of financial investments by banks.
