MBA in Corporate Finance

Cash flow is the lifeblood of a business and it travels through every artery of business activity. A stable, positive cash flow is the yardstick by which business success is measured and is the basis of increasing shareholder wealth. A healthy cash flow is the result of careful asset planning and management; intelligent selection of financing instruments; and implementation of well thought-out plans that integrate, direct, and monitor all aspects of business operations.

Consistent financial success only occurs when a company pursues a strategy that is sensible and sustainable within the context of the competitive landscape it faces.

Our Corporate Finance concentration fuses concepts and applications of business strategy, asset selection and financing, financial forecasting and planning, and cash flow management into a powerful model that creates an understanding of a business as an economic system. Specific topics such as mergers and acquisitions, international finance, hedging, dividend policy, and others are woven into the analytical framework. Our students also have an opportunity to develop sub-fields in accounting, or international finance.
