A one-year cycle of courses in corporate financial management uses MBA-level texts and combines financial theory, case studies, and database management. Finance is the strategic allocation of resources—stocks, bonds, and more—to increase value for an individual or an organization. The study of finance teaches students to analyze financial data and market trends—and their ramifications—to make sound investment decisions.
