Finance
Major
Whether a
student intends to be a finance specialist or a management generalist,
corporate finance and financial markets are an integral part
of the vocabulary of business. The Finance major provides a
foundation in corporate finance and financial markets that supports
every business function. For specialists, the broad range of
electives in the finance major, offered by faculty who are themselves
continually advancing the frontiers of thought, gives structure
and intensity to training and preparation for a finance career.
The finance curriculum provides both a working understanding
of the financial decision-making process in organizations, as
well as insight into how financial markets function. Each year,
financial services companies hire some 20 percent of the total
Kellogg School graduating class. The
Finance major provides an excellent background for a variety
of financial career paths, including investment banking, money
management, venture capital, real estate, insurance, and corporate
control and treasury functions. In addition, finance is important
for generalists seeking careers in management consulting,
organization planning and strategy, general management, and
small business and entrepreneurial management.
