Master of Business Administration [M.B.A] Finance
- The finance curriculum at Kellogg provides students with a knowledge base and a set of practical tools that are essential to a variety of careers as well as personal investing. Many of the students that major in finance intend to pursue careers in finance. These range from the investment side of finance (asset management for large institutions or for family offices, real estate investing, private wealth management) to the corporate finance side of finance (CFO, investment banking, private equity, venture capital, restructuring). A number of students who are not pursuing a finance career also major in finance (consulting, entrepreneurship, product manager).
- The curriculum begins by building the basic tools of finance and intuition you will need for your career and the advanced courses in Finance I and II (or Accelerated Corporate Finance). The advanced courses allow you to focus and provide practice applying the mechanics and intuition to increasingly complex and real-world applications. The department also offers a set of experiential courses that let you practice in non-classroom environments.
